Instructions:
1. Prepare the car. Park the car on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Allow the engine to cool down completely.
2. Locate the oil pan. It is a metal pan located under the engine.
3. Drain the oil. Remove the oil drain plug from the bottom of the oil pan and allow all the oil to drain into the drain pan.
4. Remove the oil pan. Unscrew the bolts and nuts holding the oil pan in place and carefully remove the pan. Be careful not to spill any remaining oil.
5. Clean the oil pan and mating surface. Use the scraper to remove any old gasket material and sealant from the oil pan and the mating surface on the engine block. Make sure the surfaces are clean and dry.
6. Apply gasket sealant. Apply a thin bead of gasket sealant to the oil pan gasket.
7. Install the new oil pan gasket. Carefully position the new gasket on the oil pan and make sure it is seated properly.
8. Reinstall the oil pan. Carefully place the oil pan back in its original position and secure it with the bolts and nuts you removed earlier.
9. Refill the oil. Use the funnel to add the new oil to the engine. Pour in the recommended amount of oil, usually around 3.7 quarts.
10. Replace the oil filter. Locate the oil filter, usually near the top of the engine, and remove it using an oil filter wrench. Install the new oil filter and hand-tighten it until it is snug.
11. Check for leaks. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check under the car for any leaks from the oil pan. If you see any leaks, tighten the bolts and nuts until the leaks stop.
*Note: Before starting the car, ensure the oil drain plug and oil filter are securely fastened to prevent oil leaks.*
