How to change the oil pan on a Camaro?

Answer by  MechanicalME (82)

Drain Oil. Remove all oil pan bolts. Remove the oil pan. Clean off old gasket. Apply gasket sealant to block and pan. Apply new gasket with new oil pan. Insert all screws hand tight, then torque down to the correct torque. Move around the pan evenly and ensure the torque is even all around. Refill oil.

First you must drain the oil by removing the oil drain plug on the back of the oil pan. Then all the bolts holding the oil pan on must be removed. Scrape off any left over gasket. Replace with new gasket and oil pan. Install bolts and fill with specified amount of oil.

Well the first thing to do is drain the oil and take the bolts out of the pan. Then it should drop straight down. If the gasket is still in good shape you could reuse it otherwise get a new one. Then reverse the process with the new pan.

Lift vehicle to allow ample access to the oil pan. Drain oil from car, then remove every bolt holding the pan up. Scrape the old pan gasket and replace with new, and bolt up new oil pan along with new bolts
