  Q: How to Service an Oil Pan on Jeep Liberty?

  A:

  The air cleaner assembly must be removed and the car lifted on a hoist before draining the engine oil. Relax the clamps on the engine mount and take apart the attachment between the exhaust and manifold. If you can, remove the structural collar and front axle bolts and drop the axle as close to ground level as you can. Place Special Tool 8534 on the bottom of the fender by the lip, line up the brackets' slots with the mounting holes in the fender and tighten the brackets using four M6 X 1.0 X 25 cap screws. After securing the support tube, tighten the thumbscrews to keep the sleeves in place and keep the tube straight. Put the flat washer, thrust bearing, hook and T handle together and use the M10 X 1.5 X 40 mm capscrew from the support fixture to join the chain to the engine front cover and the hook. After removing the oil pan bolts, take out the oil pan and clean both it and every gasket surface. To fit the gasket with installation, stick it onto the block and use a 3MM (1/8 inch) bead of Mopar Engine RTV around the oil pump to engine block connection. Put the pan in place, tighten the screws to 12 Nm (105 inch lbs.), let the engine settle, then take out Special Tool 8534. Secure the engine mount thru bolts, lift the axle assembly into place and reinsert the front axle bolts if you have them. Rejoin the Exhaust Pipe to the manifold, put on the structural collar if available, lower your vehicle, pour the recommended oil into the engine and then return the air cleaner assembly.

  Q: How to Remove and Replace an Oil Pan on a 4X2 on Jeep Liberty?

  A:

  First, loosen the negative Battery Cable, assemble the engine support fixture 8534 and raise the vehicle after it is turned off and isolated. Take off the front wheel assemblies and the skid plate if it's included. Take out the LH tie rod, LH lower Ball Joint and LH strut clevis. After that, take out the LH front axle, the front axle brace bolts and front prop shaft. Before removing the bolts, drain the front axle and hold it up with a transmission jack. Since the RH axle is in place, uninstall the front differential, the transmission oil cooler bracket and the engine to transmission stiffening mount. Set the engine support fixture 8534 on the fender's front lip and match it with the mounting holes in the brackets. Once in position, mount the brackets using four M6 X 1.0 X 25 MM flanged cap screws. Use the thumbscrews to attach the tubing on the sleeves and stand the support tube upright. Bring together the flat washer, thrust bearing, hook and T-handle and then attach the front engine lifting stud to the chain using the M10 X 1.75 mm flanged nut included with the support fixture. Loose the Engine Mounts, take off the oil pan bolts and disconnect the oil pan from the engine. Shift the oil pan aside so you can take out the bolt in the oil sump and the windage tray bolts, but don't stress or force the oil pan. After that, lift the oil pan and windage tray forward and take them out.
