Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we show you how to replace the oil pan gasket on this 2004 Chrysler Sebring with the 2.7-liter V6. The tools you're going to need for this repair are jack and jack stands, 13 millimeter and 15 millimeter sockets, and a ratchet with an extension. You're also going to want a swivel. You need an oil filter wrench, 10 millimeter and 18 millimeter wrenches, a pry bar, a flat-blade screwdriver, a rag, oil, and an oil filter.
Now with your vehicle jacked up, you go under the front here. You can see, here's your oil pan. You're going to want to start off by removing this plug here. Make sure you have a drip pan below it before you remove it. You just want to let your oil drain. Once it stops draining, just put the plug back in. Now you want to just use an oil filter wrench to remove your oil filter.
Now on this plate there are four 15 millimeter bolts. You just want to go ahead and remove those. We'll just fast forward as Don does this. Now, you can see, lining your oil pan gasket, there are actually ten 13 millimeter bolts. There are five on this side. Then there are five more on this side. You just want to go ahead and remove those. We'll use a little fast forward here to go through this. As you can see, some of those bolts are a little tough to get to behind the exhaust pipe and whatever. That's where you use that swivel joint or the U-joint to be able to get the socket in there and onto the head of the bolt. Next, you want to remove this 13 millimeter bolt right here. Now remove these two 10 millimeter nuts. Remove these two 10 millimeter bolts up here. Now you want to take two of those 13 millimeter bolts. You want to put one in the center hole on this side and one on the center hole on the other side. You don't really want to tighten them up. They're really just in there to secure the oil pan from falling. Now, the next thing that you need to do is remove this one 18 millimeter bolt there and these two 10 millimeter bolts on this plate here. You're going to have to use a pair of wrenches to do it. You can just pull down that plate. Behind it, you can see there are two 10 millimeter nuts there. You just want to go ahead and remove those. Using a pry bar, you want to pry down on the oil pan. You're just trying to separate it from the engine. Then, you can remove those bolts once it's separated.
Now that the oil pan is down, you can just reach in there. You want to use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry your oil pan gasket down from the engine or up from the oil pan depending where it's stuck. Now, we're going to fast forward here as he just pulls thus oil-pan gasket back towards the driver's side. You'll see that on that end of the gasket that it's actually connected. You just want to break that connection. Then, just pull each half of the oil pan gasket out.
Using a rag you just want to clean up the area where the oil pan gasket sits. From the driver's side you just want to feed that oil pan gasket back up into the oil pan. You just want to maneuver it back and forth along the sides until you can line it up properly. You can see this is what it should look like. It should be on those studs right there.
Then, you want to just push the oil pan backup, making sure that the dip stick there pushes back into place properly. Fast forward here as we put all those bolts in. You want to put them in get them hand-tight first. Then snug them. Then you're going to torque them to 20 foot-pounds. You start in the middle and go back and forth across the oil pan and work your way to the ends. Then, you want to replace those two 10 millimeter nuts, the other two 10-millimeter nuts on this side as well as the two 10 millimeter bolts. Now, replace the long 13 millimeter bolt over on this side. Double check and make sure that those two nuts are tight, and then put that plate back up into place and replace your 18 millimeter bolt and the two 10 millimeter bolts. You want to just put this place back into place and replace the four 15 millimeter bolts that secure it.
Be sure to clean the area where your oil filter seals. Coat the gasket of the oil filter with a little bit of fresh oil. Spin your oil filter into place. Generally you want to make it as tight as you can by hand which is usually about 3/4 of a turn after it's seated. Make sure that your drain plug is tight.
Refill your crank case. Check your owner's manual to see how much oil your car takes, and also just refill it until the dip stick says it's full. Run the engine a little bit. Check it again, and refill it as necessary
