Reseal 2006 Legacy 2.5 Oil Pan?


Recommended Posts

Re 2006 Legacy Outback 2.5L non Turbo

 

Hello, I'm helping a freind out. I can't seem to find a DIY thread. Does the pan just drop out or do I need to lift the motor to pull the pan?

 

Based on what I've read here the job may be a pita?

 

Thanks, Rob

for the pan to come off, its lots easier to jack up the engine after removing the lower mount nuts of the crossmember, and loosen the dog bone. Just the extra 3 or 4 inches is what it takes to get to the rear pan bolts and to drop it enough to clear the oil pickup system tube.

 

remember to drain your oil first :lol:

 

do you have your permatex ultra grey?

 

 

how much cleaning and wiping did you do to make sure the pan is where the leak is? this is not normal. valve cover leaks at the grommets, and the valve cover gasket are the norm.
