Who needs a torque wrench anyways haha good work thanks for the advice

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for watching.

The way to separate the pan is by putting one of the bolts into the little square metal thing that’s next to one of the bolt holes toward the front of the pan. It doesn’t have a hole to thread into so it pushes the pan off a bit, then you use PLASTIC or WOOD tools to pry/separate it the rest of the way.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for the added tip. Didn't notice it on the oil pan.

[@IT-TechExpert]

yea you dont use a flat screw driver and a hammer :P ahahah j/k ( i know he was being careful :)

[@reynoldaudate144]

That was a great video.
I need to remove the lower timing cover on my 09 c300 4matic sport. I am told I need to remove the lower oil pain & lift the engine up. Do you have a video on that?
Your help will be very much appreciated.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

We currently do not have an auto repair video on this particular repair.

[@keepitsimple7042]

12:05 listen to that advice guys! DIY is what's will pleasure your day, learn, try, and you'll get the fact: if someone can do it, i can do it too! Thanks for sharing gents! 👍 Cheers from Saudi Arabia 👋🤍.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for watching!

[@salvadorbelisario6995]

Just for your info guys, you don’t have to pry or use a screwdriver and pound to remove the pa . There supposed to be a three hole and use the same screw you removed from the pan and screw those in the three hole and that will speed out the cover. Gods job guys. God bless

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for the added Tip. I'm not sure if this particular pan had a different way to break the oil pan free.

[@moetic6601]

Hi is that the oil level sensor with the two bolts under thr oil pan? I have to change mine the check oil level at gas station light keeps coming on snd oil level is already good

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

What part of the video are you referring to?

[@onefiveoh1052]

Wouldn’t you do the oil pickup O ring while there?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It wasn't necessary.

I had a lower pan oil leak in a 2003 Hyundai Elantra it's been fixed with the permatex The Right stuff gasket maker.. but now for some reason when I use my heat in my car it is so hot that it's unbearable.
Could this have anything to do with the oil leak fixed prior to that it was nowhere near as hot as it is now it's so hot I can't stand it.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

That repair has nothing to do with the heat.

[@daby8399]

@@HomeOwnerRepair and now he just told me that he did not wipe the excess off he just spread it around there is that going to be an issue

[@kuldipdhak7972]

U should start engine to check leaking

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Yes, Once you have finished replacing the gasket on the oil pan you should start the car and check the oil pan for leaks.

[@farerse]

nice job but run the finger on the inside too so it doesn't fall into the oil

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

[@randysmith2992]

is the oil level sensor inside , do u have to take the oil pan off to change it ? thanks

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

I'm not sure we haven't tackled on yet on this vehicle.

[@farhadfarhadian1111]

Mine is E350 2012 bluetec i see diesel seeping thru the oil pan gasket can you tell what’s going on and how to fix it

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

If the oil pan gasket is leaking it should be fixed.

[@cosmokramer4585]

OMG the pounding of the oil pan….really? There is a threaded hole for you to simply install a pusher bolt and it will literally pop right off. Curious how much aluminium you gouged off of the upper pan??

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

We were careful and the pan was fine.

[@encinobalboa]

Geeze, RTV is not toothpaste. Squeeze out could separate from pan and clog oil passages and pump screen.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It is fine.

[@JayMaverick]

Oh my goodness guys. Maybe consult the repair manual next time? This is not a good guide video for such a relatively simple job.
Don't pound the oil pan loose. That's a great way to warp the oil pan or chip the aluminium block.
Don't use RTV sealant like toothpaste. 1-2mm bead is well enough, otherwise you risk clogging up your oil pickup.

[@kuldipdhak7972]

This job is complicated

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It is not too bad to reseal the oil pan. If you follow the video you should be okay. Hope the video helps you out.

[@georgeanddaddecker7563]

Lol,oh boy.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for checking us out.

[@redfalcon4469]

That is a lot of RTV 😒

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

You need to apply a decent bead or else you will end up with a leak. Believe me I've seen it happen.
