  A:

  To remove the oil pan, you should begin by turning off the vehicle so that they disconnect the cable from the negative terminal; in case the car's radio is equipped with an anti-theft option, you should have the right activation code. Lift the car with a jack, and place jackstands under it to hold the vehicle off the ground properly. Remove all the engine oil and unbolt the oil filter from the engine part. Remove the exhausts' hanging point and the manifold of the exhaust pipe, leaving the entire system disconnected. Take off the starter and the dust cap that is on the bellhousing next, take out the bolts of the oil pan, and take it off. Do not force the block and pan apart as this may damage the sealing surfaces, and if the pan is tightly upset, then gently knock it off using a soft-face hammer or a wooden block that has been hammered. To install the pan or block, scrape off all the old sealant off the pan and block and then wipe the mating areas with lacquer thinner or acetone. Place a new gasket on the engine with the gasket adhesive, put the oil pan, apply the torque to the bolts beginning in the center and moving outward in a spiral fashion. Secure the bellhousing dust cover back and the starter also, then join the exhaust pipe back to the manifold and exhaust hanger brackets. Stop the vehicle and placed a new filter, and took some quantity of oil into the engine. Last of all, fits the last negative cable, engage the engine and scan for any signs of leakage.
