How do you know if your oil pan on your vehicle is busted?
If a cop asked you does your oil pan have any drugs in it? And you answer no. But a dope dog sniffs them out! Then It's busted!How do you know if your oil pan on your vehicle is busted?
the oil pan on the bottom of your cars engine holds all the motor oil,sometimes the seal may wear out that bolts it on to the motor or sometimes if you drove over something real high and solid you could puncture a hole in it,,there would be oil,oil everywhere under your car should either thing ariseHow do you know if your oil pan on your vehicle is busted?
Not all oil pans are created equal. Some are extruded sheet metal, others are cast aluminum.
An aluminum oil pan will crack if it's hit by debris, a steel pan will be more forgiving, but can still get a hole in it.
If you have an oil leak, best to get it to a trusted mechanic to inspect and advise.
Unless you like getting dirty . . . then you can clean it off yourself and see where your drip is coming from.
If you recently had an oil change, the grease monkey may have let debris get in the way when he screwed on the oil filter, that would leak. He might have cross-threaded the oil pan drain screw, that would leak. He might have just spilled oil when trying to fill it. That would leak, but not for more than a couple of days.
You don't want to run your engine dry of oil, it's best to get this fixed sooner rather than later.
Check the pan on the bottom of the engine, if it's leaking oil from a break or crack in this pan, then you have a problem.
Observe the oil slick under front of car. However (if not real large),-it may just be a leaky gasket too! Get somebody foolish enough to do so - to get under car and see if any of the ';pan-bolts are loose';, moderate tightening of all the bolts could solve the problem. If the pan is not all ';banged up'; it is probably just a minor leak? There is a product called ';no-leak'; that you can put in the engine oil, and it will ';clot up'; in the leaks and stop them. Available in lots of places where auto maintainance products are sold, - including Wal-Mart. Do only one treatmernt per oil change though (change oil before you make anther try.) If this doesn't stop it, you are going to need auto shop repair.
you loose oil during operation of vehicle, constantly replacing it; Put a piece of paper under the car where the oil pan is located. See if it is soaked in oil, then you know for sure.
One way to tell is if there is oil spots in your driveway underneath the oil pan. Check the gasket to see if it's worn.

What's the best way to remove carmelized oil from a stainless steel pan?
I frequently leave olive oil heating in my stainless steel pan and forget about it. It starts smoking and the oil hardens into a dark substance that sticks to the pan. The best way I've found to clean it is dry brillo pads. But it can take an hour of scrubbing or longer to completely clean it. Is there a better way? Maybe a belt sander?What's the best way to remove carmelized oil from a stainless steel pan?
soak in boiling water with a good dose of foam oven cleaner on the pan 1st. should wipe awayWhat's the best way to remove carmelized oil from a stainless steel pan?
Relax it is easier than you think. Fill your pan with water and put a little bit of dish soap in the pan. Heat the pan to boiling for a while. If the bubbles get to much just scoop it off with a spoon. This will break down the food or oil your pan. Then pour it of in your sink. Make for sure you have on hand what is call Bar Tenders Friend. It can be found in the cleaning supplies at Walmart. Take the Bar Tenders Friend and sprinkle it over the spot with oil on it and take a scrubbing pad and scrub it while the pan is hot and it will come off. You may need to sprinkle more then scrub. But I garentee this will work.

91 honda civic dx automatic oil pan gasket replacement.?
i have a 91 honda civic with a old gasket that needs replacing do i just remove all the bolts in sequential order scrape off the old remaining parts of the gasket and apply sealant to the four corners of the gasket and screw on the bolts the way i removed them?then screw on my new drain bolt , washer and new oil filter and pour in new oil.91 honda civic dx automatic oil pan gasket replacement.?
You've got the idea, it's a fairly easy job. Loosen the bolts starting with the corners 1st, then the center, then a cross pattern for the rest. This will ensure that the pan doesn't warp, use the same method for install, but don't completely torque them down until all of the bolts are snug. Also, find out if the gasket you are using is a ';dry'; gasket, meaning you don't need a sealant. Felpro gaskets have a ';PermaDry'; symbol on the back. If it's a standard gasket, use RTV black silicon gasket maker/sealant, the black formula has the highest oil resistance. Hope this helps :)

How do i replace the oil pan gasket on my 99 jeep grand cherokee?
This is a pretty big and messy job bu tit can be done in the home garage. There is a good writeup on this site for pulling the pan on a Cherokee. http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoRearMain鈥?/a>
It is unlikely that the pan gasket is leaking however. They seal really well from the factory. More likely is a front or rear crankshaft seal leak. The rear requires removal of the oil pan. The front does not.

You gotta get your hands dirty. you have to drain the oil and take the oil pan off and replace the gasket. The exhaust may be in the way so you may have to drop it first. Just put new oil and filter on it when your done. Oh and make sure you properly torque the oil pan back down so it doesnt leak. It isnt a first time repair job if you havent done something like that before. If your up to it you can buy a service manual from Autozone or something with instuctions and pictures of how to do the job.

Does anyone know were the oil filter is located at on a 2000 nissan xterra and oil pan?
Remove that skid pan panel 5 10mm bolts 4 cly or V-6? 4cly the filter is difficult access from below on the passengers side behind the alternator. V.6 once the skid plate is off you should see everything you need.
