• Q: How to remove and install an oil pan on 2.2L four cylinder engine on 2000 Honda Passport?

  A: Disconnect the negative battery cable and drain the engine oil, then remove the dipstick from the dipstick tube. Apply the parking brake and block the rear wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling, then raise the front of the vehicle and support it on jackstands placed under the frame. If equipped, remove the splash shield by detaching the fasteners. Remove the flywheel dust cover and the oil pan retaining bolts, then detach the oil pan, taking care not to pry between the oil pan support and the oil pan to avoid damaging the sealing surface, using a block of wood and a hammer if necessary to dislodge it. Remove the oil pan support bolts and detach the oil pan support, discarding the old gaskets. Use a scraper to clean all traces of oil, old gasket material, and sealant from the gasket sealing surfaces of the block, oil pan support, and oil pan, ensuring the bolt holes are clean. Check the oil pan flange for distortion, flattening it if necessary. Before installing the new oil pan support gasket, apply a thin coat of RTV sealant to the oil pan support flange and the gasket sealing surface of the engine block, then attach the new gasket to the pan support, ensuring the bolt holes are aligned. Position the oil pan support on the block and install the mounting bolts, tightening them gradually and evenly in a criss-cross pattern to the specified torque.
