Tools Required

SA9105E Engine Support Fixture (3-Bar)

1. Remove the oil level indicator tube bolt to manifold.
2. Remove the oil level indicator assembly.
3. Remove the oil level tube.
4. The O-ring seal should be replaced if damaged.

5. Install the SA9105E set up for SUV application. Refer to Engine Support Fixture .
6. Remove the right hand engine mount bolts to bracket and body.
7. Remove the right hand engine mount.

Important: Clear the access as needed to the oil pan bolts for proper tightening and torque.

8. Raise the engine approximately 3 inches using the support tool.

Caution: Ensure that the vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned. To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle on the opposite end from which the components are being removed.

9. Raise the vehicle.



10. Remove only the lower A/C compressor bolt to oil pan.



11. Remove the oil pan drain plug and drain the engine oil.



12. Remove the engine oil pan bolts.
13. Remove the oil pan using pry points to separate the pan from the engine block.
14. Clean all oil pan, block mating surfaces, and oil pan bolts.

Notice: Ensure that there is not excessive RTV material around the oil pick-up gallery flange area. Engine damage may occur if excessive material is drawn into the oil pump assembly.

Important: Ensure that the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris. Allow adequate time to allow for the oil pump to drain. This will prevent oil from dripping on the mating flange during installation.




1. Clean oil from the mating surface before the oil pan is installed to assure a proper seal. Oil may drain from the oil pump assembly.
2. Apply a 3.5 mm (0.138 in) bead of sealant to the oil pan. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers for the correct part number.
3. Ensure the engine block to oil pan mating surfaces are clean and dry.
