  Q: How to Service and Repair an Oil Pan on Dodge Sprinter 3500?

  A:

  The first step in working on the oil pan is to drain the engine oil. Take out the retaining bolts from the sway bar and then swing the sway bar to one side, lifting it out of the way. Take the wiring harness duct off the oil pan bolts and place it near your car. Lift the car up again and take off the heat shield found on the upper part of the turbocharger. Use #8534-16 adapters to bolt engine support fixture #8534 to the engine's lifting eye and gently lift it. Take out the Engine Mounts and lift the engine up a little more. Take out the transmission cooler lines from the oil pan bolts and afterwards, unplug the oil level sensor. First, remove the oil pan bolts and then remove the oil pan and the gasket underneath. After fitting the parts, be sure to reinstall the oil pan bolts where you first unscrewed them, since they are not all the same diameter or length. Rinse your Oil Pump's strainer, add clean engine oil if there's not enough and use the recommended solvents to clean greasy parts. Fit the oil pan gasket, applying sealant to the suggested spots and then set the oil pan in place, fastening M6 bolts to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.) and M8 bolts to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.). Tighten the transmission bell housing bolt to the oil pan to a value of 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.). Reinstall the wiring harness duct and transmission lines and then put in the oil level sensor. Drop the vehicle and engine so the buckets and the engine mount make contact and then start with the engine mount bolts. Pull the engine down as much as you can and release the hook holding it, followed by tightening the engine mount bolts to 83 Nm (61 ft. lbs.). Attach the sway bar again and tighten its bolts to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.), put the correct engine oil into the crankcase and link the negative Battery Cable back up. Hold handles properly and stay away from anything moving such as pulleys, belts or the fan, when the engine is working and don't wear loose garments. When you've finished, start the car and check it for any leaks.
