How to remove and install the oil pan and Oil Pan Baffle in 4.0L pushrod V6 engine on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

To remove the engine from the vehicle, first take out the oil pan fasteners and detach the oil pan from the engine, using a Tor bit for the bolts on each side of the crankshaft rear oil seal and a Tone driver for the two adjacent bolts. If needed, remove the baffle fasteners to take out the baffle, which is secured to the main bearing caps. For installation, be cautious as two oil pan bolts are attached to the transmission, requiring the correct selection of spacers to prevent damage or leaks. Clean all old gasket material from the oil pan and its mounting surface with a gasket scraper, and remove any residue with a solvent. Position the oil pan on the engine block, then use a straightedge across the transmission mounting surface and one of the oil pan-to-transmission bolt mounting pads to measure the gap with a feeler gauge. Repeat this for the other mounting pad and select spacers to compensate for the gap, available in three thicknesses. Apply a thin bead of ATV sealant to the outside edge of the gasket surface and around the crankshaft rear oil seal at the rear of the engine, as well as to the seams and corners of the front seal cover and engine block-to-timing-chain cover. Install a new oil pan gasket, secure the oil pan fasteners evenly to the specified torque, and ensure the long screw next to the crankshaft rear oil seal is properly positioned. Finally, install the spacers on the mounting pads before bolting the engine to the transmission.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Oil Pan

The Oil Pan of the Ford Explorer Sport Trac plays a very vital role when it comes to the wet sump lubrication system that is employed in the management of engine oil in the vehicle. Sitting right at the bottom just below the engine, the Oil Pan serves as a holder of the oil thereby keeping it in place and ready to be pumped around the engine's oil channels. This design will enable the oil pump to suck the oil and such will help in lubricating and cooling of the various moving parts of the engine. In earlier models of the Ford explorer sport trac the oil pans were traditionally made using stamped steel but as technology progresses new models employ the use of cast aluminum oil pans. Qualitative changes in the material can influence weight and heat shedding capacities and therefore, impact on the performance of the entire engine. The component examined on the Ford Explorer Sport Trac is the Oil Pan's design which is valuable in providing accurate oil levels and minimizing oil leaks essential in smooth running of the vehicle under different driving conditions.

We provide a wide range of Ford Explorer Sport Trac Oil Pan at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Explorer Sport Trac Oil Pan, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
