sub-
frame be lowered.
- Raise car and place securely on jack stands.
Make sure the car is stable and well supported at all times.
Use a professional automotive
lift orjackstands designed for
- Remove splash shield from under engine.
- Drain engine oil as described in 020 Maintenance.
4 Remove oil dipsticlc guide tube:
Disconnect fuel lines and wiring harness from
bracket (A).
- Disconnect oil separator hose (B) from base of guide tube.
Remove mounting bolt
(C) from left engine mounting
bracket and remove tube from oil pan.
NOTE-
* If necessary, remove air filter assembly for better access to
dipsticlc tube.
The dipstick guide tube is sealed in the block using an
O-
ring. Check that the O-ring comes out with the tube.
4 Lift hood into assembly position:
While supporting the hood, disconnect hood support
struts.
Raise hood and install
loclting bolts (arrow) in right and left

subframe mounting
bolts and lower
subframe as far as possible.
Remove oil pan screws (arrows) at cylinder block and trans-
mission bellhousing. Lower and remove oil pan.
NOTE-
If oil pan will not slide backwards, disconnect stabilizer bar
links and lower front axle support further.
If the oil pan does not separate easily from the engine cylin-
der
block, a few taps with a rubber malletshould breakit free.
Do not
pry the oil pan loose.
When installing oil pan: Thoroughly clean all old gasket material from mating sur-
faces and use a new gasket.
Apply a small amount of non-hardening sealer
(3 Bond
12098 or equivalent) to oil pan gasket directly below joints
(arrows) for end cover and front timing case cover. Apply
a bead
3 mm wide by 2 mm high.
Install all oil pan bolts finger tight. Tighten oil pan bolts to-
ward front of engine first, then pan bolts at transmission
