Toyota 12102-21010 Pan Sub-Assy, Oil

Jack up the car's front and support it on axle stands. Remove the engine lower cover panels and drain the engine oil. Remove the engine oil dipstick and the oil pan-to-transmission stiffener plate on automatic models. Detach the bolts and nuts securing the steel oil pan to the aluminum oil pan. Use a tool to break the seal between the pans, then lower the oil pan carefully. Clean the sealant from the oil pan and engine mating faces. Check the oil pick-up strainer. To refit the oil pan, apply RTV sealant to the oil pan sealing surface and bolt holes. Position the oil pan on the engine and secure it hand-tight. Tighten the oil pan nuts/bolts to the specified torque in a diagonal sequence. Refit the oil pan drain plug with a new sealing washer. Lower the car and let the sealant cure before refilling the engine with oil and checking for leaks.
