Removal
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
2. Drain the engine oil.
3. Park the car on a flat, horizontal surface, preferably with a hard surface. Apply the parking brake and support the rear wheels with wedges.
4. Jack up the front of the car and place it on supports.
5. Moving along the perimeter of the pallet, loosen and unscrew the fastening bolts in several steps (to loosen the two bolts located on the transmission side, you will need a cardan drive to the socket wrench).
6. Tap with your palm, separate the pan from the cylinder block and remove it from under the car. Remove and discard the old gasket. If an oil deflector is provided, its removal becomes possible only after dismantling the oil pump.
7. Take this opportunity to check the condition and patency of the pump oil intake tube and mesh filter. If necessary, remove the pump (see section Removal and installation the oil pump and oil intake assembly) and clean it (or replace) mesh filter.
Installation
1. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces, completely removing any remaining old gasket or sealant material. Then wipe the surfaces with a rag soaked in acetone.
2. After making sure that the mating surfaces of the sump and cylinder block are absolutely clean and dry, lubricate them with a layer of sealant.
3. Place the new gasket on the mating surface, then press the pan onto the block and screw in the mounting bolts. Tighten the pan fasteners evenly in several steps to the required torque.
4. Fill the engine with the required amount of engine oil of the required grade (see Chapter Routine maintenance).
5. Connect the negative cable to the battery.
