You could rely on Toyota to make it more difficult to do maintenance. Start with changing plugs on bank 1 on a V6 or changing transmission oil on a no dipstick car. Having a feeling the dipstick will also be removed from the engine oil pan later just to frustrate you, not to mention more issues with head gasket oil leaks or carbon build up on the new direct injection engines. You could bet Toyota will make the EVAP system even more difficult to troubleshoot.
for breaking that seal, I find using a sharp wood chisel, much sharper and flatter than a screw driver so fewer problems with deforming the baffle and pan.
Other than the screwdriver bit, I really appreciate the video. I have some crappy wood chisels that will work perfect for that. Thank you much!! Well done.
@@theeoneeenoee3227 This shows up when i search for my Toyota 4runner. I am like - what fucking YEAR is this truck ? Probably should not take mechanic advice from someone who can not title their video.
Fel-pro snap-ups make installing the oil pan a lot easier. They are about $5 for a set of 4. Basically, you screw the 4 snap-ups in the engine spaced apart. then place the gasket up against engine. The snap-ups have a spring-loaded tab that holds the gasket in place, so you don't need any sealant. Then you put the oil pan in place. The snap-ups tabs will hold the oil pan in place. Screw in a few bolts, remove the snap-ups and you are all set from there.
This person is telling the truth. PSA: For Toyota Camry oil pan jobs, 2az-fe, 02-06, engine: take out the dipstick. Youll also need a 10mm wrench/spanner for one nut. Now you're golden.( source: proclaimiberty2000 ) Peace.
Mine is a 2006 avalon and I got the oil pan bolts off but cannot drop the pan because the exhaust is in the way. Trying to remove two bolts from the exhaust to drop it enough to slip the pan out but they are so rusted on that I'm having trouble moving past this step 😑 any advice
Typed Toyota Sienna 2007 & this showed up, I don't know how youtube knows but this looks similar to my 07 Sienna. The reason I'm here is because my bolts looks very rusted and the ones with the nut have the threads all gone lol. From the looks of mine, they will need replaced hoping that they will come off clean lol. This Sienna did not have an undershield so I'm blaming the rust on that.
This looks like 2az fe. My 2009 camry oil pan is seeping too..i took it to the dealer workshop just to make sure and they said this camry just needs to be re sealed. The sealant will harden itself like in an hour. I asked a couple times about the gasket they said no need. Now i am a bit confused.
What Toyota is this? Engine size? This looks nothing like my 1999 Camry. It was a well shot video but it would be great if you added the car and engine size in your title. Otherwise, it is a good video.
From reading the car forums, several guys wrote that you don't want to use the gasket and the gasket sealer. If you do that, when you tighten down the oil pan, the gasket sealer will get squished in both directions. Then little bits of gasket sealer will circulate inside the engine. Instead, you can put a little bit of grease, any kind of grease, or a little bit of motor oil, on the oil pan edge, then the gasket. The grease or oil is just to hold the gasket in place while you install it, and to make removing the pan next time a little easier.
all oil pan gaskets are BASICALLY the same. may be diffrent on how to get it out but he did what his title says and he did point out it was a car! lol good job
So I did this.order gasket from eBay didn’t fit used grey silicone. Used screw driver to pry oil pan and sanded. The book says use screw driver.so everything went good. Used 1/4 drive.
ernie godinez I had no problem removing the bolts and 2 nuts but found the Toyota’s sealant very tough. Using a sharp putty knife and hammer I was able to free a couple of inches after an hours work. I’m embarrassed to say that I gave up in fear of doing damage. Sometimes you have know your limits and know when to give it up before making things worse.
I pull up the video under 95 camry. The first thing I notice is there is no model discription given. I then start reading the replys and hear others saying the same thing. I just laugh at some of the responses and someone saying, "its obviously a Seinna" What!!!! I've decided that anyone who would take the time to video record a repair write-up like this yet, not take the time to display simple info like model and year, are all the red flags i need. Hilarious...
My 98 camry is leaking oil prefusely but doesnt overheat or use coolant so I'm thinking it isn't the head gasket rather the oil pan gasket also I just changed the valve cover gasket so maybe I installed it incorrectly
What is that called? I mean "The swivelled thing" I should buy that tool to get to the bolts. The last time I tried to change the oil pan I couldn't unscrew some of the bolts with a normal extension.
@@sjw1921 I'm under the car finishing up the same repairs. What helped me is an extension that bends, no idea what it's called. Like a normal extension but spring like
good video, mine was valve cover gasket first and then the oil pan gasket as well, in that order. and i did look on eric the car guy's channel for oil pan gasket change, wasn't there, but yours was, thanks!! Im signed in on my daughters youtube, not mine, so i'll subscribe on mine later lol
Why would you do something this involved with an ebay gasket. If it fails it can blow your engine or at least make you do it over. Spend the extra what $20 for a gasket from a reputable source. You may get lucky but I would not change it.
You know, a gasket for your gasket 😉. But on a real note, the only reason you would do that would be to simply hold your gasket in place while you screw on the pan.
