Removal
1. Fully apply the parking brake. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely (see "Lifting and installing the car on supports"). Disconnect the ground wire from the battery (see "Disconnecting the battery").
2. If necessary, unscrew the bolts and screws, remove the fasteners and remove the lower protection from under the engine together with the gearbox.
3. Drain the engine oil, then clean and install the oil drain plug, tightening it to the specified torque. If the engine is approaching its scheduled service date, when the oil and filter should be changed, it is recommended to remove the filter now and replace it with a new one. After assembly, you can fill the engine with fresh oil. For more information, please contact chapter 1B.
4. On models with air conditioning, remove the accessory drive belt as described in chapter 1B. Remove the bolts and nuts securing the compressor. Remove the compressor from the pallet and place it away from the pallet. Tie the compressor to a suitable part of the vehicle to prevent excessive strain on the refrigerant lines. Be careful not to lose the spacers removed from the rear compressor mounts (if available). Warning. Do not disconnect the refrigerant lines from the compressor (refer to the warnings in chapter 3). Securely tie up the compressor to prevent damage to the refrigerant lines.
5. Gradually loosen and remove all oil pan mounting bolts. On some models, to gain access to the oil pan mounting hardware, it may be necessary to remove the flywheel cover from the transmission by unscrewing the corresponding bolts.
6. Since the tray mounting bolts vary in length, they should be unscrewed in order and stored in accordance with the correct installation sequence. To ensure safety, insert the bolts into holes cut in a piece of cardboard and clearly marked. During installation, this will avoid the risk of incorrect bolt placement.
7. Open the joint by tapping the pallet with the palm of your hand. Then lower the tray and remove it from under the vehicle. If the tray cannot be removed (and this is quite possible), to separate the joint, you can use a spatula or similar tool, which should be carefully inserted between the oil pan and the block. Run a spatula around the perimeter of the joint, freeing the oil pan. While the oil pan is removed, take the opportunity to inspect the oil pickup/oil pump strainer for any signs of blockage or damage. If necessary, remove the pump as described in paragraph 15, and clean or replace the mesh filter. Please note that on later 2.0L engines the dipstick tube extends to the bottom of the oil pan to allow oil to be sucked out through the tube using special equipment.
Installation
8. Remove all traces of sealant/gasket material from the mating surfaces of the cylinder block/crankcase and oil pan, then wipe the oil pan and the inside of the engine with a clean rag.

9. Apply a thin layer of suitable sealant to the mating surface of the oil pan.
10. On models with air conditioning, ensure that the oil pan dowel pin is installed correctly (if applicable).
11. Position the oil pan against the cylinder block/crankcase. Screw in the appropriate bolts. Tighten all bolts evenly and gradually using hand force, then to the specified torque.
12. If necessary, make sure that the spacers (if available) properly installed on the rear compressor supports, and then align the air conditioner compressor relative to the pan. Screw in the appropriate bolts and tighten the nuts. Tighten the front compressor mounting bolts to the specified torque first (on the drive belt pulley side), and then the rear bolts (see chapter 3). Install the accessory drive belt as described in chapter 1B.
13. Install the lower protection (if available), then lower the vehicle and fill the engine with oil as described in chapter 1B.
