  Q: How to Service and Repair an Oil Pan on Chrysler Concorde?

  A:

  Take out the dipstick and its tube, then lift the vehicle with a hoist to service and repair the oil pan. Change out the engine oil and remove the Oil Filter. Unhook the suspension stabilizer bar and put it back in place to allow better room for the oil pan. Take out the structural collar from the oil pan to the transmission housing as well as the lower bolt connecting the A/C compressor to the oil pan. If the vehicle has an engine oil cooler line, disconnect it from the pan and make sure to remove the two bolts on the Timing Cover from the oil pan so you do not damage them. After that, unscrew the attaching bolts from the oil pan, then pull out the oil pan and gasket. Give the oil pan and sealing areas a good clean and inspect the gaskets on the oil pan and timing chain cover to determine when replacement might be needed. Apply a 1/8 inch bead of Mopar GEN II Engine RTV to the front T-joints of both the oil pan gasket and timing cover gasket and then set the oil pan gasket into the block. To keep oil leaks from happening, begin by fastening the oil pan bolts and nuts with your hands, then cover the timing chain holders with the pan bolts to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.). Repeat for the oil pan bolts and tighten to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.), plus the nuts to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.). Replace the lower bolt between the A/C compressor and the oil pan and tighten it to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). Should you have an oil cooler, connect the line from the cooler to the oil pan. Work on the collar in order: tighten the bolts from the vertical collar connecting to the oil pan to 1.1 Nm (10 in. lbs.); tighten the horizontal collar to the transmission to 55 Nm (40 ft. lbs.); and tighten all the bolts on the collar from the center vertical collar to 55 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). Now, replace the oil filter and drain plug, secure the suspension stabilizer bar, lower the vehicle, put in the oil dipstick and tube and add the correct oil to the engine crankcase.

  Q: How to Maintain and Fix an Oil Pan on Chrysler Concorde?

  A:

  Before repairing the oil pan, withdraw the dipstick and turn off the car, then use a hoist to lift it slightly. Empty the engine oil and then get rid of the Oil Filter. Unscrew the suspension stabilizer bar, then move it for more room to fit the oil pan below. Detach the structural collar between the oil pan and the transmission and remove the lower bolt from the A/C compressor to the oil pan. If your car is equipped with an engine oil cooler, take it out from the oil pan. Eliminate the two bolts securing the Timing Cover to the oil pan to keep any accidents from occurring. Afterward, unscrew the bolts that secure the oil pan and get rid of the pan and gasket. Clean the oil pan and seal any exposed areas and check if replacing the gaskets on the oil pan and timing chain is necessary. Use a thin line (1/8 inch) of Mopar Engine RTV GEN II around both T joints that fit over the oil pan gasket. Install the gasket to the block, then install the oil pan and mount it using the fasteners following this order: loosely secure the oil pan bolts and nuts at first, then tighten the timing chain cover to pan bolts to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.), then tighten the oil pan bolts to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.) and finally, tighten the oil pan nuts to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.). Attach the oil pan's lower bolt to the A/C compressor, then tighten it to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). If your engine has an engine oil cooler, connect it to the oil pan. Apply 1.1 Nm (10 in. lbs.) to all the vertical collar to oil pan bolts first, next tighten the horizontal collar to the transmission bolts to 55 Nm (40 ft. lbs.) and finally tighten all the bolts to the same torque in sequence from the center outward to 55 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). When everything is installed, put in the oil, secure the oil dipstick and check that the oil crankcase reaches the correct level.
