Question 1

How to properly remove and reinstall an oil pan in six cylinder engine on Dodge Ramcharger?

Accepted Answer

Locate the negative battery terminal and loosen it to isolate it from the battery positive terminal, remove the engine oil dipstick. Chock the wheels, and safely jack up the vehicle and make sure that it can safely stand without rolling before you decide to drain the engine oil. Disconnect the engine to transmission strut, and for those automobiles that have an automatic transmission, also, the torque converter inspection cover has to be removed. After that, take off the oil pan mounting bolts and extract the oil pan from the engine's structure. To clean oil pickup tube and screen the assembly has to be removed from the block and cleaned using solvent and also check the screen for changes. Wipe off the oil pan with solvent and dry it with a piece of clean cloth, remove all the gasket materials from the oil pan, by scraping the mounting surfaces of the oil pan as well as that of the block. There should be no distortion at the oil pan mounting flange, straighten it if required. Screw and fit the oil pickup tube and screen in the block as far as necessary and then turn the assembly to put it about one inch from the oil pan bottom. The oil pan should be reinstalled together with new gaskets: when fitting rubber seals and cork gaskets, it is necessary to use RTV-type sealant both on the rubber and on the cork gasket, and on both planes of the gasket. When this is done, fit the retaining bolts and tighten the same to the recommended torque in a star pattern from the center outwards. Continue the process by performing the reverse of the above procedures such that replace the Oil drain plug and tighten it and then pour the correct quantity of oil into the crankcase and examine for leaks at the oil pan gasket sealing surfaces after starting the engine.

Question 2

How to remove and reinstall oil pans in 3.6L V6 engine on Dodge Challenger?

Accepted Answer

To eliminate the oil pans first untwined the cable from the negative terminal from the battery and if in the 2015 and later models remove the Intelligent Battery Sensor connector. Lift the front of the vehicle up until it can be supported properly by the jackstands, engage the parking brake as well as supporting the rear wheels. Remove all the engine oil and remove the fasteners of the lower splash shield hence removing the splash shield. Following that, unbolt the nuts and castellated heads and studs to allow for the separation of lower oil pan from the upper oil pan, without any prying of the sealing surfaces. If the pan is stuck you should try to pry it up gently with a thin knife or a putty knife. Necessary unscrew the dipstick tube bracket mounting bolt, then pull the dipstick tube from the upper oil pan. Disconnect the steering gear and the colt of the transmission fluid cooler lines. Take off the lower oil pan Then detach the transmission mount to the crossmember and lift the transmission and or engine high using a floor jack, but be careful not to shed off the transmission fluid pan. Withdraw the four bellhousing transmission to oil pan bolts and the rubber plugs to provide access to the pan to rear main oil seal retainer bolts. There are two bolts at the top of the engine which are holding the pan-to-rear main seal housing, do not lose the eight bolts that hold the oil pan-to-rear main seal bolts while removing the two bolts as the location has a delicate rear main seal housing. The remaining upper oil pan bolts should be checked and promptly unbolted while the oil pan was pulled off gently from the engine block by inserting prying points or putty knife. Another procedure involves thorough cleaning of the pan and the engine block mating surfaces and inspection for such aspects as distortion and flattening if any. Spread the RTV sealant on the sealing flange of the upper pan, position it with bolts and turn the bolts with your fingers only. Preload the bolts that pass through flanges of the transaxle to the oil pan by traversing the threads for a short distance then tighten the remaining bolts in a circle criss cross fashion to the required torque value. Conversely, the process for reinstalling components is done in the same sequence-in reverse, add oil into the engine, and take the car for a test drive to ascertain if there is a leakage. For the lower oil pan, apply RTV sealant, install it to the upper pan and fasten the bolts in a clockwise manner to the torque specified by the manufacturer, and as a result of the reinstallation process examine a leakage this time after refilling the engine with oil.
