CAUTION

• When the tightening angle is smaller than the specified 

tightening angle, the appropriate tightening capacity 
cannot be secured.

• When the tightening angle is larger than the specified 

tightening angle, remove the bolt to start from the 
beginning again according to the procedure.

5. Using the special tool MB991614, tighten the beam bolt 

(M9) 60 degrees in accordance with the tightening order.

6. Tighten the plate bolts to the specified torque in the 

tightening sequence shown.

Tightening torque: 23 

± 6 N⋅m (17 ± 4 ft-lb)

>>E<< OIL PAN UPPER INSTALLATION

1. Clean the gasket surfaces of the oil pan upper and oil pan 

lower.

2. Apply a 2.5 

± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.01 inch) bead of liquid 

gasket to location A, and a 4.0 

± 0.5 mm (0.20 ± 0.01 inch) 

bead of liquid gasket to location B, and a 3.2 

± 0.5 mm (0.13 

± 0.01 inch) bead of liquid gasket to location C on the oil pan 

respectively as illustrated.

Specified sealant:

Three bond 1217G or equivalent

NOTE: Install the oil pan within 15 minutes after applying liq-
uid gasket.
NOTE: Then wait at least one hour. Never start the engine 
or let engine oil or coolant touch the adhesion surface during 
that time.

3. Tighten the upper oil pan bolts in the sequence shown.

Tightening torque: 10 

± 2 N⋅m (89 ± 17 in-lb)

4. After installation, keep the sealed area away from the oil and 

coolant for approximately one hour.

>>F<< OIL PAN LOWER INSTALLATION

1. Clean the gasket surfaces of the cylinder block and oil pan 

lower.

2. Apply a 2.5 

± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.01 inch) diameter bead of 

sealant (Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent) to the oil 
pan. Be sure to install the oil pan quickly while the sealant is 
wet.
NOTE: Install the oil pan within 15 minutes after applying liq-
uid gasket.
NOTE: Then wait at least one hour. Never start the engine 
or let engine oil or coolant touch the adhesion surface during 
that time.

3. Tighten the upper oil pan bolts in the sequence shown.

Tightening torque: 10 

± 2 N⋅m (89 ± 17 in-lb)

4. After installation, keep the sealed area away from the oil and 

coolant for approximately one hour.

.

>>G<< ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH 
INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• The threaded part tip of the switch must be clear of the 

sealant.

• Use care not to allow the sealant to plug the oil pas-

sage.

1. Completely remove existing sealant from the oil pressure 

switch and the switch mounting hole on the oil pump case.

2. Apply sealant (Three bond 1215, Three bond 1212D or 

equivalent) to the threaded part of the oil pressure switch as 
shown.

3. Install the oil pressure switch to the oil pump case by 

tightening to a specified torque.

Tightening torque: 10 

± 2 N⋅m (89 ± 17 in-lb)

>>H<< OIL FILTER COVER INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Do not damage the sealed area.
Check the right and left ribs of the oil filter cover touch the outer 
circumference of the oil filter boss.

.

>>I<< OIL FILTER INSTALLATION

1. Clean the filter mounting surface on the front case.
2. Apply engine oil to the O-ring of the oil filter.

CAUTION

If the filter is tightened by hand only, it will be insufficiently 
torqued, resulting in oil leaks.
3. Screw the oil filter in and tighten the oil filter to the specified 

torque using a commercially available special tool 
MB991396 or general tool from where the O-ring has come 
into contact with the oil filter mounting surface.

Tightening torque:

MD332687, MD365876 16 

± 4 N⋅m (13 ± 3 ft-lb) 

<approx. 1 turn>

MD360935 14
