Installation

Installation is in reverse order, removing any remaining sealant from the oil pan and cylinder block, for example with a rotating plastic brush. Clean the mounting surfaces; there should be no oil or grease on them. Cut off the tube tip at the front mark (About holes approx. 2mm). Apply sealant to the clean oil pan seating surface as shown.

Thickness of sealant bead: 2...3 mm.

Instructions. The sealant bead should not be thicker than 3 mm, otherwise excess sealant may get into the oil pan and clog the mesh filter in the oil intake pipe. In the area of the rear sealing flange "arrows" the sealant should be applied especially carefully. The oil pan should be installed within 5 minutes after applying the sealant.

Immediately install the oil pan and tighten the mounting bolts to 5 Nm.
