  Q: How to Service and Repair an Oil Pan on Dodge Intrepid?

  A:

  First, lift the vehicle with a hoist and then take out the dipstick and the tube before doing any repairs. Remove the engine oil and then take out the Oil Filter. First, remove the suspension stabilizer bar and move it out of the way for oil pan room. Lift the structural collar out of the oil pan and remove its attachment bolt that holds the A/C compressor to it, too. If there is an engine oil cooler, remove its line from the pan. Don't forget to remove the two bolts linking the Timing Cover to the oil pan for safety and to avoid any harm. After that, take out the bolts or nuts attaching the oil pan and once they're off, take the oil pan and its gasket away. Clean the area inside the oil pan, plus where the timing chain cover gasket lies, to confirm if any new components are needed. Lay a small bead of Mopar Engine RTV GEN II on the front T-joints between the oil pan gasket and the timing cover gasket and set the oil pan gasket on the block. Always do the following when preventing oil leaks: tighten the bolts on the oil pan by hand, then connect the timing chain cover to the oil pan bolts to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.) and tighten each bolt to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.), finishing by tightening the oil pan nuts to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.). Again use a suitable tool to attach the lower bolt linking the A/C compressor to the oil pan and tighten them to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). If you have an oil cooler, link it to the oil pan. Put the tightening sequence in action for the structural collar: start by torquing the vertical collar to the oil pan bolts to 1.1 Nm, then tighten the horizontal collar to transmission bolts to 55 Nm and finally tighten all the bolts to 55 Nm from the center starting outward. After replacing the oil, put in the new oil filter, secure the Drain Plug, attach the suspension stabilizer bar, lower the vehicle and set in the dipstick and oil tube. When you are finished, fill the engine crankcase up again with oil to its appropriate level.

  Q: How to Remove and Install an Oil Pan on Dodge Intrepid?

  A:

  Remove the dipstick and tube before you use a hoist to lift the vehicle. Remove the engine oil and take out the Oil Filter. Pop the suspension stabilizer bar out and move it aside to allow room for the oil pan. Carefully take out the structural collar from the point where the oil pan attaches to the transmission housing and from the lower fastener connecting the A/C compressor to the oil pan. If available, take out the engine oil cooler line from the pan. Take out the two bolts holding the Timing Cover on the oil pan to keep it from getting damaged. After that, remove the oil pan attaching bolts and take out the oil pan and its gasket. While installing, clean the oil pan, clean the surfaces where the gaskets will seal and check the sealing surfaces as needed. Carefully add one 1/8 inch line of Mopar Engine RTV GEN II around the front and rear T-joints of the gasket. Fit the oil pan gasket onto the block, then set the oil pan and fasteners in place, following this three-step sequence: put in the oil pan bolts and nuts hand-tight, then tighten the timing chain cover to the pan bolts to 12 Nm, next tighten the oil pan bolts to 28 Nm and finally turn the nuts on the oil pan to 12 Nm. Replace the lower bolt between the A/C compressor and the oil pan, turning it until tightening to 28 Nm. If you have an engine oil cooler, join the line from the oil cooler to the oil pan. To install the structural collar, start by rotating the vertical articles on the oil pan bolts to 1.1 Nm, then tighten the horizontal article on the transmission bolts to 55 Nm and finally torque the center vertical bolts to 55 Nm. Place the oil filter and Drain Plug, connect the arms of the stability bar, lower the car to the ground and set aside the tube and the dipstick. Put the proper oil into the engine crankcase at the right level.
