Eight-cylinder engines
Raise the front of the car.
Remove the compressor with the mounting parts and, without disconnecting the pipelines, put it aside.
Remove the fuel supply drive rod.
Loosen the bolts securing the lower half of the oil pan.
Remove the engine oil level indicator from the guide tube and remove the tube.
Remove the lower half of the oil pan as described above.
Loosen the bolts securing the upper half of the oil pan.
Loosen the two bolts securing the front engine mount.
Unscrew the lower part of the engine shock absorbers.
Attach a cable to the lifting eyes and use a lifting device to lift the engine until the upper half of the oil pan can be freely removed from the engine.
The oil pan is installed in the reverse order. Before installation, glue new gaskets to the separable surfaces of the oil pan with grease.
Six-cylinder engines
The oil pan, together with the splash guard, is attached to the cylinder block with M6 bolts. The threads of the bolts are coated with glue, preventing the bolts from loosening, and therefore the bolts must be replaced after each removal of the pan.
Disconnect the oil drain line from the oil pan.
Loosen the bolts securing the protective mudguard as shown in Fig. 107.
Fig. 107. The arrow shows the protective splash guard of the oil sump of a six-cylinder engine.

Unscrew the protective splash guard fastening on the lower half of the oil pan.
Remove the damper (section 2.7).
Unscrew the lower generator mount.
Loosen the bolts securing the upper half of the oil pan and leave it hanging on two bolts.
Loosen the bolts securing the lower half of the oil pan and remove it.
Loosen the three oil pump mounting bolts.
Remove the oil level indicator guide tube from the mounting bracket and from the upper part of the oil pan.
In vehicles with air conditioning, remove the lower compressor mounting bar.
Disconnect the fuel supply drive rod.
Loosen the lower part of the engine shock absorbers and the front engine mount bolts.
Attach the cable to the front lifting loop and use a lifting device to lift the engine until the upper half of the oil pan can be removed freely. Loosen the two bolts and remove the upper half of the oil pan. Remove the oil seal from the groove in the rear of the pan.
Installation is carried out in reverse order, taking into account the following points:
Before replacing the rear oil seal, read the instructions in section 3.8. Install the seal in the oil pan similarly to the recommendations for installation in the cylinder block. Lubricate the seal with engine oil.
Apply sealant to the split surface of the oil pan and install the oil pan on the cylinder block. To secure the pan, tighten one mounting bolt from the front and rear sides. Install and tighten the mounting bolts of the lower half of the oil pan and then evenly tighten the mounting bolts of the upper half of the oil pan.
Secure and install the remaining parts and units and fill the assembled engine with engine oil. Start the engine and check the tightness of all connections.
