How Do You Replace The Oil Pan Gasket In A Honda Accord?
Replacing the oil pan gasket in a Honda Accord isn’t a job that you will need to do often. However, if you suspect that oil is leaking from the bottom of your car, there’s a chance that the oil pan gasket is worn out. Replacing the gasket is a fairly quick job. Drive the car up on ramps and put it in park. Block the rear wheels to keep the car from rolling. Get under the car and locate the oil pan near the front of the vehicle. Put a drain pan within easy reach. Use a socket wrench to remove the nut that holds the oil pan to the car. Hold the pan with your other hand so it won’t drop when the nut is removed. Slide the drain pan quickly under the oil pan to catch the old oil. Drain as much as possible. Remove the old oil pan gasket very carefully with a thin paint scraper, and then wipe the surface with engine cleaner or solvent. Rub a bit of oil on the sealing surface to promote adhesion, and attach the new gasket securely. Reattach the oil pan to the car with the bolt. Pour fresh oil
