  Q: How to remove and install the oil pan for piston engine on Mazda 929?

  A:

  In order to remove and install the oil pan on different car models, the first point is to have the battery cable of the negative battery cable disconnected and the front of the car raised where it is well supported. Drain the engine oil and take off any under covers, engine splash shields or skid plates as required. In some models, just disconnect the slave cylinder of the clutch, without removing the hydraulic line, and loosen the bolts of the engine rear brace (and the left side, where present). Unplug any of the lines connected to the oil pan and unscrew the front motor mounts, lifting the engine in place as necessary. On a front-wheel drive car, unscrew the exhaust pipe off of the manifold and the engine torque brace, whereas on a rear-wheel drive car, any wooden support blocks must be removed, and then the engine can be lowered. Open the oil pan that contains bolts, and the oil pan would be removed and could rest on the crossmember (where necessary). Wipe off gasket mating surfaces, inspecting cracks, wear or tear, and apply sealant as needed and then install the oil pump pickup tube (removed earlier). In models that do not have a gasket, there is use of a gasket forming sealant, but the pan should be installed and the bolts torqued in a given period of time. In the case of those having a gasket put sealer on the joints, then install the gasket and the oil pan, and tighten the retaining bolts. Reassemble any that have been removed like engine torque brace, exhaust pipe and splash shields, lower the vehicle, refill the crankcase, and reconnect the battery cable and start the engine checking it to leak.
