Ensure the engine is cool and the vehicle is securely lifted before beginning installation. Remove the old oil pan carefully to avoid damaging the engine block or gasket surfaces. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to ensure a proper seal. This oil pan does not include a gasket or seal, so a compatible gasket must be sourced separately.
