Diagnostics
Visual analysis is sufficient to determine the oil pan faults. In case of visible damage (dents, cracks, shape changes) it is necessary to replace the part. If you find oil leakage, it is necessary to restore the lubricant level in the system and solve the problem immediately.
You can diagnose and make conclusions about the faults with no special skills or tools. This part is an all-metal, so it does not have special requirements for the diagnosis.
Replacing the oil pan
Repair of the oil pan is held exclusively in case of system leakage. In this case it is necessary to replace the gasket or restore the tightness with sealant. In case of mechanical damage to the oil pan, only installation of a new part is required, repair in this case is irrelevant.
Replacing the oil pan requires the involvement of several people, as well as the presence of special skills and tools. First the vehicle needs to be raised with the help of the lift. Next the oil is poured off and the crankcase fixing is unscrewed. If tightness is provided by sealant, rather than gasket it is necessary to completely clear the body of its tracks, and re-apply sealant to the contact place of the main bearing cap and the cylinder block, as well as the connection of the oil pump and the engine block.
