Honda 11200-R40-A00 Oil Pan Assembly

To have the components out of the way, one has to unplug the cable from the negative terminal and take out the air filter housing. For manual transaxles remove the following: clutch release cylinder and hydraulic line bracket mounting bolts. Thirdly, unscrew the battery and battery tray and unclasp the harness connector clamp to have the harness out of the way. See if the front wheel lug nuts are loose, if not then you chivalously lift the vehicle using the jackstands and then remove the front wheels. Sucker out the engine oil and unbolt the ground cable and the upper transaxle mount bracket from the transaxle and engine room. Next, go and take out the front engine mount stop and the upper mount bolt and then take out the rear engine mount stop and the rear mount bolt. Remove the bolts connecting the stabilizer bar links to the lower control arm, remove the damper fork from the left shock absorber assembly and disconnect the left lower control arm from the steering knuckle. Disconnect the left driveaxle and four grommetted nuts of the transaxle container lower mount. Place a floor jack under the transaxle with a block of wood placed under the jack to avoid scratching the transaxle surface, then raise the transaxle to about two inches and then detach the transaxle brace. Subsequently the oil pan bolts should be unbolted and the oil pan should be gently eased off the engine block if needed this can be done with a rubber mallet and a block of wood and a hammer. For installation, scrap off all remnants of the previous gasket from the region round the lower crankcase and the oil pan by use of a scraper and solvent. Run a 2 mm thick line of RTV sealant on the outer rim of the oil pan, where it should dry for no more than 5 minutes. Reduce the heads of the oil pan bolts and fix them neatly in a star-like pattern with the central bolts tightened first. The remaining installation is a reversed procedure of removal, which guarantees that the transaxle brace and the driveaxle/hub nuts are tightened to the required torque. Last, do not start the engine for at least 3 hours after filling the crankcase and, when doing so, do not forget to change the oil filter and to fill the crankcase with the correct engine oil.

Before unbolting the oil pan, it is advisable to take off the cable of the negative terminal of the battery. Lock the rear wheels, engage park the parking brake and then lift the front part of the vehicle, placing support jacks securely. Disconnect the engine splash shield, drain the engine oil and proceed to take off the oil filter. Disconnect the exhaust crossover pipe from the warm-up catalytic converters and take the pipe away. Next, take out bolts around the perimeter of the oil pan and the oil pan to transaxle case bolts four of which are located behind the subframe, then drop the oil pan. If the pan is stuck, stand at the tabs on the casting corners and the use of a dull pry tool but be sure not to pry the gasket surface. For installation, the block and oil pan surfaces must be absolutely free from the previous sealant; if its removal is done with a scraper, it should not be pressed too hard to cut through the aluminum, and the mating surfaces should be wiped clean with lacquer thinner or acetone. Check that the threaded holes in the block are clearance and examination of the damage or blockage of the oil pump pick-up screen assembly. Place a new gasket on the oil pan, and then place the oil pan to the engine block, and install the screws in the right sequence according to torque. The balance of removal procedure is the converse of installation procedure; always add oil and fit new oil filter. If the oil pump has been replaced, it is advised to wait for about 20 minutes so as to allow the sealant to set before adding oil. Last but not least, join the battery, start the engine and examine the oil pressure as well as any oil leaks.

The bolts are all reuseable so very uncommon to replace them. The p/n's are 95701-06032-08 (15), 95701-06030-08 (3).
