As for that spot, if you just stuff a lint free rag up far enough to get any nearby residual oil, you'll have time to put your sealer in and the pan on before anything else gets there. One *huge* time saver in getting oil pans on is something like the milwaukee 1/4" impact. With the screw shooter setting, it'll put the bolts down to 3-4 ft-lbs. so you get the pan on and tight-ish super fast.

Checked out a 5 speed 3.0 today
The "speed one" setting on M18 or M12 hex impact is the very best way to shoot up 20-30 bolts with no risk of stripping. Pay attention to the 2-4 that are a different length.

If it helps, I bought a quickjack and my undercarriage STILL doesn't look like that

The sheet metal screw setting is even better. You get the speed of setting 3, but the gun cuts off the second it detects any resistance. I liked the 1/4" hex impact so much that I actually bought the basically identical 1/4" square impact for 2.5x the price. (The 2553 hex impact is the bargain. I've picked up a few of them for $50/per on FB marketplace. Screaming deal.)

I'll try the screw setting next time that would be a lot faster.
I think I used speed two actually when I replaced oil pan I just stopped at the first tap. Then I went around every other bolt just shy of set torque with torque adapter. (odd then even bolts) followed up same pattern at spec

Bottom line is there is not a right or wrong, everyone has their own method. I wanted to be sure I would not have to do this twice and gave me some time to clean her up under there.

I'm lucky enough to have several junkyards close to my house, and they all have E53s!
Grabbed some OEM tail lights, HVAC controls with all the buttons intact, and an LCI Sport package heated wheel. A 4.4 just got put in the yard the day I got there, Pastel green interior! Also has the navigation unit. I was going to take it, but it looks like the retrofit process is more than I want to do. I might go grab it just to have it around or to sell. UGH and now the forum says my file sizes are too big for the pictures. First it was the sizing and now its the file size lol |
