Mopar 53021334AF Pan-Engine Oil

Make sure the engine is completely cool before starting to remove the oil pan. First, disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal then jack up and secure the vehicle using jack stands. Then drain out engine oil and replace the oil filter. Remove fan with shroud and dust cover or transmission brace. Disconnect automatic transmission cooler lines from radiator and move them aside. Take away crossmember beneath oil pan (4WD models have front crossmember mounting bolts), if any, unbolt steering gear without disconnecting fluid lines, indicating front driveshaft position prior to removing it from front axle. Safely support front axle with jacks at each end and remove axle mounting bolts in order to lower front axle sufficiently for removal of oil pan. Support engine above with either an engine hoist or a support fixture while reducing some weight on engine and taking out through-bolts from engine mounts for all models. Further raise engine if necessary, take out transmission mount and lift transmission for more clearance or space. Then unscrew all the bolts holding down oil pan ensuring that gentle force is applied until it comes loose from the engine so as not to spoil rubber gasket by hitting it with rubber mallets. Be careful when prying on gasket not to overdo it.Once there is enough space pull off oil pump pick-up tube followed by windage tray/gasket assembly which should be thrown away too. Clean sludge from inside of the pan using solvent; make sure that both surfaces of its mounting area as well as those of engine block are thoroughly cleaned; they were recently wiped clean with rag soaked in brake cleaner too. Mount a new O-ring on each side of this part before fastening bolts in sequence shown here. Replace another windage tray gasket assembly but ensure alignment studs are positioned correctly into block's holes. Positioning it on top aligning its' holes properly so as not to disrupt anything if windage tray/gasket is used while tightening bolts by hand. Finally, tight fasteners in order as specified patterns and complete the remaining steps in reverse order. Top off with correct oil type and amount, install a new oil filter, check for leaks when engine starts then return vehicle back into service.

Remove the two nuts and one bolt that secure the oil pump pick-up tube and windage tray. Drop the pick-up tube into the oil pan, then remove the pick-up tube, windage tray, and oil pan as a unit.

To remove the lower oil pan, you should start by removing the bolts and nuts around its perimeter. Be cautious not to pry between the upper and lower pans to avoid damage. You can tap the pan with a soft-face hammer to break the gasket seal or use a putty knife if needed.

Refill the engine with new oil. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal. Start the engine and check for oil leaks.

Before removing the oil pan, it's important to disconnect the battery's negative terminal and securely raise the front of the vehicle on jackstands. Apply the parking brake and block the rear wheels for safety. Additionally, drain the engine oil.

Raise the oil pan up next to the block and attach the oil suction tube to the block. Install the oil pan. Tighten the bolts, starting in the center and working towards the ends, to the torque. Install the oil pan drain plug with a new sealing washer and tighten it to the torque.

Proceed to drain the engine oil and replace the oil filter. Remove the dust cover/transmission brace and the fan along with the fan shroud. Detach the automatic transmission cooler lines from the radiator and move them aside.

Remove the oil pan bolts, ensuring all are removed before using gentle force to separate the pan from the engine, breaking the gasket seal with a rubber mallet. Exercise caution to avoid prying on the gasket.

After that, drain the engine oil. If equipped, remove the skid plate. Remove the transmission oil cooler lines. Remove the front crossmember.

Before starting, disconnect the cables from the negative terminals of the batteries. Additionally, drain the engine oil.

For all models, support the engine from above with an engine hoist or support fixture, release some weight from the engine, and remove the through-bolts from the engine mounts. Raise the engine further if needed, remove the transmission mount, and raise the transmission for additional clearance.

Refill the engine with new oil. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal. Start the engine and check for oil leaks.

After removing the oil pans, it's essential to clean both the pans and mating surfaces. Apply RTV sealant to the upper pan's sealing surface. Install the upper pan and bolts, tightening them finger-tight. Then, tighten the pan-to-transmission bolts and the remaining bolts in a circular pattern from the middle outwards to the torque.

Attach an engine hoist or an engine support fixture to the lifting eyes on the engine. Raise the engine just enough to take the weight of the engine off the engine mounts, then remove the engine mount through-bolts. Raise the engine until the engine fan is almost in contact with the fan shroud.

To remove the upper oil pan, follow these steps: remove the power steering gear and dipstick tube bracket mounting bolt, carefully pull out the dipstick tube, and remove the lower oil pan. Also, disconnect the coolant tube-to-upper pan fastener and move the tube back. In the case of a 4WD model, separate the front differential from the engine mounts, connect an engine hoist to the engine, and raise it to access the oil pan bolts. Remove the four lower oil pan-to-transmission mounting bolts, the torque converter access plate, and the rubber plugs below it. Additionally, remove two rubber plugs and two upper pan-to-rear main seal housing bolts (M6 size). Afterward, you can remove the nineteen upper oil pan bolts (M6 size) around the perimeter of the pan, carefully separating the oil pan from the engine block.

Clean the interior of the oil pan with rags and solvent and clean the oil suction tube. Also clean the pan mounting surface of the block of any sealant, gasket material or oil. On the engine, apply a small bead of RTV sealant to the block and front cover joints, and the block and the rear seal retainer joints. Attach a new gasket to the oil suction tube mounting flange and place the suction tube into the pan, with the mounting flange at the front.

After that, drain the engine oil. If equipped, remove the skid plate. Remove the transmission oil cooler lines. Remove the front crossmember.

Clean the oil pan with solvent and remove any gasket material from the block and the pan mating surfaces. Clean the mating surfaces with lacquer thinner or acetone and make sure the bolt holes in the block are clear. Check the oil pan flange for distortion, particularly around the bolt holes. Inspect the oil pan gasket for cuts and tears, replacing it if necessary.

To remove the lower oil pan, you should start by removing the bolts and nuts around its perimeter. Be cautious not to pry between the upper and lower pans to avoid damage. You can tap the pan with a soft-face hammer to break the gasket seal or use a putty knife if needed.

Remove the crossmember beneath the oil pan (front crossmember mounting bolts for 4WD models). If applicable, unbolt the steering gear without disconnecting the fluid lines and mark the front driveshaft position before detaching it from the front axle. Safely support the front axle with jacks at each end and remove the axle mounting bolts to lower the front axle, creating sufficient working room for oil pan removal.
