Pontiac Vibe Oil Pan
The Oil Pan which is in the Pontiac Vibe vehicles is particularly important for storing the engine oil to ensure that essential items such as camshafts, valve trains are well lubricated and cooled. Featuring the wet sump design, the Oil Pan pays for the collected oil pulled by a pickup tube under the impetus of the oil pump to circulate in the engine. These designs help the Pontiac Vibe to have sufficient oil for different operating conditions to avoid leakages hence helping the engine perform well. Traditionally, the PVO core component, the oil pan, was molded from stamped steel, however, improvements have seen the incorporation of cast aluminum in many models as a way of boosting durability and increased efficiency. While the essential purpose of the models is the same, the shift to enhance the use of advanced materials is a demonstration of enhanced design and superior performance potential of the Vibe. In total, apart from other components that the manufacturer took into account while creating the Pontiac Vibe car model, the Oil Pan is crucial for the proper functioning of the automobile's engine and its durability in different conditions.
Each OEM Pontiac Vibe 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 Vibe Oil Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install the oil pan on Pontiac Vibe?A: To remove the oil pan, first disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, set the parking brake, and block the rear wheels. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. If equipped, remove the two plastic splash shields under the engine, then support the engine from above and remove the front cross member support. Drain the engine oil and remove the oil filter, followed by the oil dipstick. Detach the oil pan by removing the bolts; if it is stuck, carefully pry it loose without damaging the mating surfaces to prevent leaks. For installation, use a plastic scraper to eliminate old sealant from the block and oil pan, and clean the mating surfaces with lacquer thinner or acetone. Ensure the threaded bolt holes in the block are clean and check the oil pan flange for distortion, addressing any nicks or burrs. Inspect the oil pump pick-up tube assembly for cracks and blockages, cleaning it thoroughly if removed, and install it with a new gasket, tightening the nuts/bolts to the specified torque. Apply a 3/16-inch wide bead of RTV sealant to the mating surface of the oil pan, then position the oil pan on the engine block and install the bolts loosely. Tighten the bolts in three or four steps, working from the center out. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal, allowing at least one hour for the sealant to cure before adding oil. Finally, run the engine to check for oil pressure and leaks.
