When reusing the oil pan installation bolts, clean any old sealant from the bolts.
CAUTION:
- Apply silicone sealant in a single, unbroken line to prevent oil leakage.
- To prevent silicone sealant from hardening, adhere the oil pan to the cylinder block within 10 min after silicone sealant is applied. Tighten the installation bolts completely soon after adhering.
Apply silicone sealant (TB1217D or equivalent) to the oil pan along the inside of the bolt holes as shown in the figure.
