Oil leak problem on my 2002 Pontiac Bonneville
3800 series 2 V6
GM 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
surfaces, 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.
