Oil Pan Removal Note
Caution
•Pry tools can easily scratch the oil pan mounting surfaces. Prying off the oil pan can easily bend
the oil pan flange.
Refer to the following instructions before removing the oil pan.

3. Screw an oil pan bolt into the weldnut to make a
small gap between the cylinder block and the oil
pan.
4. Remove the oil pan using the separator tool.
Oil Pan Installation Note
Caution
•If the bolts are reused, remove the old sealant from the bolt threads. Tightening a bolt that has old
sealant on it can cause bolt hole damage.
1. Apply silicone sealant to the oil pan along the
inside of the bolt holes and overlap the ends.

Structure
•Electric cooling fans No.1 and No.2, operated according to a cooling fan control signal from the PCM, have
been adopted. Due to this, engine noise is reduced and rapid warm-up is possible.
•Cooling fans No.1 and No.2 are attached to the radiator cowling.
•The cooling fan motor output has been changed.
