- Install the oil pan studs into the engine block.
- Apply a 5 mm (0.197 in) wide and 25 mm (1.0 in) long bead of adhesive GM P/N United States 12346141, GM P/N Canada 10953433, or equivalent, to the engine front cover to engine block junction at the oil pan sealing surfaces.
- Apply a 5 mm (0.197 in) wide and 25 mm (1.0 in) long bead of adhesive GM P/N United States 12346141, GM P/N Canada 10953433, or equivalent, to the crankshaft rear oil seal housing to engine block junction at the oil pan sealing surfaces.
- Install the NEW oil pan gasket.
- Install the oil pan.
- Install the oil pan reinforcements.
- Install the nuts and the bolts.
- Tighten the oil pan bolts to 12 N·m (106 lb in).
- Tighten the oil pan nuts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
- Install a NEW oil pan drain plug seal, O-ring, onto the oil pan drain plug.
- Install the oil pan drain plug into the oil pan.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the oil pan studs to 6 N·m (53 lb in).
Important: Always install a NEW oil pan gasket.
