Unfortunately you have to pry off old oil pans with a narrow blade or screwdriver tip. The gasket WILL be destroyed in the process so make sure you have a new one. Heating the pan a bit will help as well as it softens the seal and makes the oil runnier. As a side note, never re-use an oil or head gasket even if it still looks good, I made that mistake once, not good is an understatement. Grim
SOURCE: Need torque specs for oil pan bolts
torque specs for these bolts can be found in a Haynes or Chilton manual availiable from your local parts store, or maybe at your local library, however these bolts are usually no more than 14 ft pounds, unlike cylinder head bolts, the bolts do not need to have any stretch factor to hold the oil pan gasket in place or sealed.
SOURCE: My oil drain plug was stripped from the engine oil
Tighten three oil pan/transmission bolts 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.) Tighten all bolts oil pan/engine block cross over 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.)
SOURCE: What is the sequence for the bolts on oil pan, for
For the 2.8L there is no sequence. Torque for the bolts are 105 in.lbs.
For the 3.0L torque is 50 in.lbs. in sequence:
For the 3.3L and the 3.8L, no sequence but torque each bolt to 105 in.lbs.
Please don't forget to rate!
SOURCE: I'm trying to remove my oil pan on a 2000
I am not sure, But there could be six more bolts to remove. They will be on the side of the pan, about half way up. three on each side. Sorry for guessing, I work on to many makes and models. Also the gaskets do hold the pan on tight sometimes. If there are no extra bolts then carefully pry it off.
