Pontiac Firebird Oil Pan
The Oil Pan in Pontiac Firebird vehicles is used of storing the engine oil which is vital to lubrication and cooling of any parts within the engine. An ordinary wet sump system involves flow of oil to the Oil Pan through the pickup tube by the help of the oil pump where the oil circulates in the engine before it finally drains into the Oil Pan. This design is important in ensuring that hose carries sufficient oil when in different operating conditions. Early models of Pontiac Firebird Oil Pans were made from stamped steel but today's versions employ cast aluminum for performance reasons. As for the oil supply, cars can have a standard wet sump system, however, enhanced models may be equipped with the dry one to avoid oil starvation at high rpm. The differences of these systems explain the development of the Pontiac Firebird's engineering for everyday use and for performance.
Each OEM Pontiac Firebird Oil Pan we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Pontiac Firebird Oil Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal and remove the oil pan in V6 engine on Pontiac Firebird?A: Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. For carbureted models, remove the air cleaner assembly, tagging each hose to be disconnected with a piece of numbered tape for easier reinstallation; for fuel injected models, remove the air intake duct. Remove the distributor cap to prevent damage when the engine is raised. Unbolt and remove the top half of the fan shroud. Raise the vehicle and support it on jack-stands. Drain the engine oil. Disconnect the exhaust crossover pipe at the exhaust manifold flanges, lower the exhaust pipes, and suspend them from the frame with wire. If equipped with an automatic transmission, remove the converter shroud; if equipped with a manual transmission, remove the flywheel cover. Remove the starter. Remove the throughbolt at each engine mount. Using an engine hoist, raise the engine to allow the oil pan to clear the crossmember, checking clearances all around the engine as it is raised, paying particular attention to the distributor and the cooling fan. Place wood blocks between the frame front crossmember and the engine block, ensuring they are approximately three inches thick. Lower the engine onto the wood blocks, making sure it is firmly supported, and if a hoist is being used, keep the lifting chains secured to the engine. Remove the oil pan bolts, noting the different sizes used and their locations, then remove the oil pan. Before installing the pan, ensure that the sealing surfaces on the pan, block, and front cover are clean and free of oil; if the old pan is being reinstalled, ensure that all sealant has been removed from the pan sealing flange and from the blind attaching holes. With all sealing surfaces clean, place a 1/8-inch bead of ATV sealant on the oil pan sealing flange. Lift the pan into position and install all bolts finger tight, tightening the end bolts first and then the remaining bolts working from the center out to the ends. Lower the engine onto the mounts and install the throughbolts, tightening them to the specified torque. Follow the removal steps in reverse order, fill the crankcase with the correct grade and quantity of oil, start the engine, and check for leaks.
