- once you have access to the oil pan. drain the oil out completely. bottom and top (oil filter housing) advice you wait at least 30 mins
- unscrew the bolts holding the oil pressure sensor, 3 10mm nuts and pull the sensor and unplug
- then unscrew all the bolts holding the pan up. there is about 15 of them, all the same size.
- drop the pan and peel of the gasket. or don't forget to also replace the gasket on the oil pressure sensor as well.
- some recommend adding sealant to the oil pan gasket.
- once new gasket is on, put the oil pan back up and screw all the bolts. torque it down to specs. i don't remember the torque specs, i believe its 15lbs, i stand corrected.
- replace the gasket on the oil pressure sensor and put the sensor back in place.
- make sure everything is right. before you bolt the shield back up.
- add oil, change oil filter and you know the rest.

man that sounds pretty easy if the shield is the hardest part my shield is already off and i bought 23 new bolts for the oil pan new gasket for the pan and a new oil level sensor since the one i have is defected.. i guess i just need to figure out the torque spec good you told me i would have just tighten it with a regular socket wrench
