Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the engine is cool before beginning installation. Drain the existing oil completely and remove the old oil pan carefully to avoid damaging the engine block or gasket surfaces. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly before positioning the new Dorman 264-163 oil pan. Use a compatible gasket or sealant as required (not included). Tighten mounting bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern to the manufacturer’s torque specifications to prevent leaks. Verify the drain plug is securely tightened after installation.
