Vehicle make/model = 2002Pontiac Bonneville
Mileage = 121000
Engine size = 3800 series 2 V6
dash lights = no
codes = none
tech = KK
question = How do you change the oil pan gasket on a 2002 Pontiac
Bonneville, 3800 V-6? Thanks for any help.
KK:
In order to get the pan off this engine, you must remove the oil level sensor in the pan,
remove the torque convertor/flywell inspection covers, hang the engine/transmission
assembly with support fixtures on top in order to support and hold the entire assembly in
the car so you can remove the front lower engine mount, then remove the oil pan. Once
the oil pan is off, you must remove the oil pump pick-up tube in order to get the old
gasket out. Clean all sufaces, install new gasket. Hold gasket in place on the block while
re-installing the pick-up tube, then install the pan and re-assemble all.
