Few questions. I’m in the middle of doing my pan on my 09 300c and did you actually use a torque wrench or did you just tighten them to a good snug? Also did you put gasket maker with the gasket on as well? Or just the rtv in the 4 spots and gasket? Last question. If you used any type of rtv or gasket maker did you wait 24hrs to put oil in and start up?
Thanks for the comment bro! I used a torque wrench for the larger pan bolts, not on the smaller ones. With that being said I have been working on stuff for a while now and know how tight they should be. If you don’t have a torque wrench, it’s not the end of the world. Just tighten the bolts as close to spec as possible. The smaller ones don’t need to be as tight. The larger ones should be in a bit more. I did not use gasket maker because I only removed the pan and left the old gasket in place. It’s recommended to replace the gasket if the pan is removed. I didn’t remove or replace the gasket as I just needed to drop the pan for the oil return. If you do peel back the gasket from the engine block, be sure to clean the mating surface. When reinstalling the pan gasket put some gasket maker in the marked positions, this is an important step, it may leak if not. It’s not necessary to apply gasket maker all the way around but you may if you want. It is definitely recommended to wait at least 24 hours for the RTv before adding oil to decrease the chance of a leak. It should be safe after a few hours if you have to. Good luck with your vehicle bro!! Hope it goes good 💯🤝
The pickup tube gasket is ok to reuse if it’s in good condition. Just replacing the pan due to damage? It may be fine to just replace the pan if you are able to get the old one off without damaging the gasket. If the gasket is already leaking I’d replace it. In most circumstances it should be replaced. In some cases it can be reused if it’s in good enough condition. Thanks for the comment bro feel free to reach out with any other questions 💯💯🤝
Really good video quality i wish i was watching it for a better reason (dropped the pickup tube bolt in my oil pan NOT happy about that) but if you’d have any tips for me I’d appreciate it as well thanks for the video bro
@@colin7761 we did… for 2 and a half minutes as soon as I put it in park it stalled and I remember that one bolt that I never fully tightened… the cam bolt… oh well anyways I had a pretty tough time just getting the oil pan dropped (not fully removed) but decided to work around it instead since I’m gonna be doing this again soon could you think of any reason for the pan itself to be stuck I got all the underside bolts and 4-6 trans connecting bolts but me and my friend where doing pull-ups on it
Ahh sorry to hear bro! Believe me, I know how much of a pain this stuff can be. So you’re saying the pan is loose, just stick on something? The oil pan baffle plate is likely caught on the oil pickup tube. This is the tricky part of the job. I was only able to get the pan off when the engine was jacked up a bit due to the minimal clearance. Lmk if you need any more help if you ever get back to it. Take care 💯💯
I cranked it in clear flood mode for about 15 seconds twice. It’s generally recommended not to crank for more than 15 seconds at a time to avoid overheating the starter. Hope this helps bro! Sorry I’m a bit late with the reply. 💯💯
It needs to be put on exactly how it was taken off. It is a little difficult when there’s not much clearance. Are you able to get any more clearance by jacking up the engine a bit?
YOU MAKE THIS LOOK SO EASY GOING TO TRY THIS TODAY ON MY 6.4
Thanks for the comments bro!! There’s definitely some hard spots but it’s possible!! Good luck with yours bro!! 💯💯🤝

Will the pickup tube need to be removed When removing the old gasket?
do you recommend replacing the pickup tube gasket and pan gasket if someone were to only be replacing the oil pan?
The pickup tube gasket is ok to reuse if it’s in good condition. Just replacing the pan due to damage? It may be fine to just replace the pan if you are able to get the old one off without damaging the gasket. If the gasket is already leaking I’d replace it.

Is this fairly easy to do
For a technician, fairly easy. Could be a little difficult for someone who doesn’t work on cars. 💯💯🤝
@@colin7761i work on cars so this should be pretty easy
I'm not sure why the manual said to replace the 10mm bolts. Do you? I noticed you used the old ones
You should if you can, that being said, mine were fine and I reused them. It’s not serious like a head bolt or anything. 💯💯🤝
How much did you torque the 15 mm bolts? And the 10 mm bolts?
The small ones are 9 ft lbs and 22 ft pounds for the bigger ones 💯💯🤝

I appreciate the comment bro! I’m sorry to hear that, that had happened though! Hopefully you can get er done without too much pain. 💯💯🤝

Did you happen to get it figured out? Sorry I didn’t see this sooner 💯💯
@@colin7761 it’s all good bro no I haven’t gotten into it yet I’ve honestly been putting it off because of how much a headache the pickup tube bolt is

Is there a specific way the oil pickup tube should sit in the pan?
You just want to make sure that the pickup tube goes inside under the little splash plate to make it easier to connect
@@colin7761 Thank you very much and did you have to prime your charger engine after with oil?
I cranked it in clear flood mode for about 15 seconds twice. It’s generally recommended not to crank for more than 15 seconds at a time to avoid overheating the starter. Hope this helps bro! Sorry I’m a bit late with the reply. 💯💯
@@colin7761 You're super clutch brotha! I got it done perfectly! Thank you very much again!
I’m glad to hear that bro!! 💯💯💯🤝
Is this the same on a 6.4??
Yes it sure is! 💯💯🤝
Ok I need some help guys I took off the oil pan but for some reason I can’t line up the oil pan
Having trouble getting the oil pickup tube in it?
@@colin7761 yes how do I side it in the oil pan keeps hitting a little pate that’s inside the pan
It needs to be put on exactly how it was taken off. It is a little difficult when there’s not much clearance. Are you able to get any more clearance by jacking up the engine a bit?
Skipped the hardest part prying it off with little room
Sorry my guy. Hopefully ya got er figured out!! 💯💯🤝
