I think RB mentions the oil pan bolts at about 8lbf ft. Here are some other torque specs associated with this job that I gathered. After applying these torque specs I can say that they felt legit. Subframe bolt rear of the front tires: 76lbf ft Support bracket bolt: 69lbf ft Subframe bolt front of the tires: 76lbf ft Support bracket bolt: 40lbf ft Vertical subframe bolt near the middle of the tire is 33lbf ft Right side Engine Mount Top Bolt: 47lbf ft Front and Rear Engine mount Bolt: 40lbf ft Front and Rear Engine mount Bracket nuts: 58lbf ft

Hi RB, I need to replace the oil pressure sensor on my 2004 Civic si. What socket size should I be using to replace it? Thanks in advance for your time.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Not sure but it might be 22mm I would try it on to see what fits

[@Steve-v3b]

Gonna be honest, I Flexseal that hole and duck tape over it and keep driving. Cant fork out the $1000 to fix this at the mechanic when the car is only worth 2k

[@jdryyz]

Darn. I thought the oil pan would be completely accessible without removing anything around it. I have a stripped drain bolt (according to the mechanic I go to) so there's a minor leak. Funny thing is his shop is where I have been getting my oil changes done for the past I dunno how many years so I asked them, why did you strip it? 😆😆 They didn't seem amused but it was an honest question. At any rate, I was thinking this could have been a job I could take on myself since an oil pan can be found for less than $50. Seeing this vid now, I will consider another shop to take it to.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah I never had these stripped just rusted or oil seal leaked

[@eb80871]

easy my a$$

[@RBTheMechanic]

I did it in 1 hour

[@Nperez1986]

Great vid! Most of your oil is leaking from the VTEC actuators though...that's a common spot for leaking

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nperez1986 I relaxed vtec seal also

[@2.0taccord]

The VTC actuator is inside of the engine on the intake camshaft sprocket. There is the solenoid on the side of the engine, a pressure switch and spool valve on the rear, and a VTC mesh on the front.

Is all the extra bolt taken off really necessary 🤔😫 cuz im tryn to replace mine all bcuz of the stupid bolt is stripped and i have temporarily plug in there 🤦🏻‍♀️ welp if this how is it to take it off ion even gunna chance it ill just take it to a shop 🥺...

Yes to replace the pan this is the process

[@harryschneider1760]

My mecanic told me i dont need a gasket when replacing the pan..he told me it doesnnt come with gasket from factory....i ordered a pan gasket ,pan,and liquid gasket. Do i need gasket n lquid gasket? Use bolth or what one should use..cause it cost $17 for gasket $17 for lquid gasket n $40 for pan....what should i have installed? Thanks rob. Love your videos. Learned so much from you

[@RBTheMechanic]

No gasket just get the honda bond about $18 from dealer works better than gasket and make sure u let it dry for like 3-5 hours before u put in oil

@@harryschneider1760 that’s even better more longer the better

[@39knights]

The reason people/companies hire 'engineers' or designers is to avoid such a complicated repair for such a simple and basic EXPECTED repair/maintenance. It's not like this is the first oil-pan to rust and need replacing after 100+ years of auto-making. The one's responsible for such a design-flaw should have their names put on a world-wide wall of shame and they should be graded and pay-rate fixed according to their stupidity.

[@RBTheMechanic]

39knights yup all they needed to do was save them some metal and give that cut in the frame simple as that

[@fshblw]

@@daniellebron6046if you're doing it on the ground without a lift, jack the car up as high as you can get it off the ground and place the vehicle on jack stands, it took me almost a full day to complete it because of the weather conditions but it's manageable, the hardest part is going to be lowering the subframe but it doesn't need to be dropped all the way down, just enough to get the oil pan removed.

hello, I have a question its that the oil pump ? that goes inside the oil pan. because my brother got 03 honda accord 2.4l engine in it. and the mechanic said that the oil pump was bad but then he said the power steering pump was bad and I think I ordered the wrong oil pump wich I'm going to return and get my money back.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah it’s inside the oil pan big job!! Oil pump is inside the pain but power steering pump is up on top outside

[@cellpat2686]

This job doesn't look like a DIY unless you have a shop with a car hoist and other dedicated tools. You can show us how but not many of us will be able to do this. The oil pan the previous owner of my 2006 2.4 stripped the original pan nut and now it leaks oil. Im gonna have my mechanic replace the pan and he will change the oil too in it at the same time. Thanks for showing us anyway.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Well yes it’s complicated but at least watching it can give u the idea what need to be done and weather u should jump in to it

[@3SaukTrail]

Didn't work for me and I have a hoist. I decided to pull the pan so I could replace the oil pump chain , gear, guide, and tensioner while I was replacing the timing chain. In the end, I loosened all of the subframe bolts and pulled the passenger side of the subframe down with a ratchet strap. After I did that, the oil pan almost fell right off. Still a good video. Very detailed and much appreciated.

Nice good job

should be same it got same motor

[@MichaelKLee-jf7qs]

A bit late on this, and haven't finished the video but the gasket on 8th generation Accords, 2008-2012 have a liquid gasket. So like Hondabond, so you'd have to slice into the space between the pan and motor and pop it off after the bolts are gone.

[@paulhance1984]

Hey man @Rb the Mechanic Thanks for this video. I really appreciate it. I am going to replace my Oil pan on my 2005 honda accord 2.4L and have been looking for an in-depth video about the process for weeks and just came across your video. I am going to attempt the process this weekend. The car has been parked for a week after I drained the oil. My last oil change(189k) I did a while ago 3 years the guys at the dealership mess up the threads on the oil pan. I just realized the problem this year when I took it back to them to change the oil and they told me they couldn't change the oil because the oil bolt couldn't come out and that I need a new pan ( cost $880). Anyway, I am going to replace the pan myself. Thanks for the man.

RB The Mechanic Yep I got hondabond. Just one tube. Do I need two? Also I don’t have pry bar.

[@davidtorres1715]

Thanks for the video. I removed the oil pan from a 2013 Honda Accord but also needed to remove many if not more of the bolts from the black support brace to get it out. Unfortunately, I broke the oil pump tensioner (hanging from the engine in the oil pan on the upper front passenger side) and needed to remove the timing panel to replace it. The lesson I learned is not to try to pry the oil pan out with a crowbar. The bolts from the black support brace need to be removed or loosened to create space.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Oh wow damnnn make sure u get timing in place correct

[@mitchellpowell8125]

Yes never pry, i use a putty knife in many uses, pulling door panels, etc. There is a bit of prying but its dispersed better, and easy to just work it all round.

Is there a bolt on driver side holding it up

[@ChavezDIY]

Yes, the transmission mounts are on the driver side. There is one on top of the transmission and two under the transmission. If you remove them, you can get more clearance. Per the OEM manual you're pretty much supposed to remove all the engine and transmission mount bolts that attach the engine/transmission to the subframe, which is what he did in the first part of the video (minus the transmission mounts). Then, the book says to lift the engine about 6 inches and that should be enough clearance. I have seen other videos where the guys lower the subframe. So you have two options, lift the engine and transmission, or lower the subframe.

I meant to say that those Honda boys dont use any type of gasket just the Honda bond , hey I'm here in Mexico and I couldn't get a hold of the HONDA BOND for this job , what do you think of the PERMATEX ULTRA GRAY? Some people here tell me it's basically the same, what can you tell me based on your experience?

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@julioluna1344 yeah I have used that just make sure u clean out well there no oil when u apply it and once’s it’s all done let it dry for like 4-5 hours

[@julioluna1344]

@@RBTheMechanic thank you man!!!! Perfect, that's a proyect for the weekend! Is it common for those to leak even though they have not been hit or are not broken? Because the oil seems to be coming out of the sides , as if the silicone has failed

[@mauriciochavez914]

I wonder if the 2002 model is similar . I've got a little 4 cylinder accord . 270k miles has a few leaks I need to fix but the car runs good

[@RBTheMechanic]

It’s different bout about same.

[@kangokidkidd4037]

How long does it need to dry before putting it back on and tork to what 8 pounds..so snug tight the nuts for one hour then tork to 8 pounds...okay thanks...do I have to tork or just tightened them up but not too tight...tork wrench cost like 50 bucks..

[@travisodonnell3409]

Great video but I've read a bunch of the comments. One comment u answered said 8.7 ft lbs of torque, one said 18 ft lbs of torque and one said 10 ft lbs of torque? Can u please verify what the torque should b for the oil pan bolts. Thanks man.

I did the steps to mounts but frame won't drop? I did the 4 bolt's as well and the bolt on the pass side of engine

[@RBTheMechanic]

Watch the video at 20:09 did u remove that bolt and watch at 20min time frame 4 bolts on frame plus the lil bracket did u remove the bracket on the engine mounts and the 4mm bolt ? The front and back engine mount had bracket held in by 2 17mm nuts and then 14mm bolt goes through the mount head to engine

[@angelisone]

Off topic, but with this question & prolong problems: 2005 CRV w/P2646, when VTEC Solenoid, VTC Screen Filter & Mobil I/Filter installed didn't help . What is the true fix?

[@RBTheMechanic]

angelisone just saw this I will check this code once I get back to work tomorrow

[@RBTheMechanic]

angelisone I check on my ALLDATA the process is complicated you have to remove the pressure switch check the pressure with pressure tested tool I would replace it and if u have like over 100k milages try to put thicker oil some times it could be weak oil pump but not common I have 2004 accord I use 10w40 motor craft oil very good oil I love it

[@angelisone]

@@RBTheMechanic One the 2005 CR-V with that Check Engine Code P2646. A complete brand new VTEC Solenoid, VTC Screen Filter, Oil Pressure Switch, Mobil 1 Extended Oil Filter, Mobil 1 10w-20 (10w-30 or 10w-40 didn't help), Full Synthetic, Valve Cover & top engine cams/valves/lifters gears cleaned, Valve Cover Gasket, Inlet Tubes, 10mm Gasket Bolts, Belt Tensioner, Belt have been replaced. CR-V has 322,511 km, still getting P2646 after three weeks. Do you think the Oil Pump (does it has a filter/o-ring) is bad? Removing the oil pump is no fun because it is chain driven.

[@dwest713]

So, clean the gasket surface really well, yet I see leftover sealant on there, and wipe all the oil off, yet you installed the new gasket right over top of a fat oil drip. Not to mention lifting the engine with a pry bar, (on the oil pan gasket surface!).

[@RBTheMechanic]

No leaks been over years!!!

[@dwest713]

@@RBTheMechanic That's great, my point still stands. This is a $500 job, all that labor and a tube of sealant, I wouldn't want to take the chance of having it leak again.

@@dwest713 ok yeah I understand stand ur point… but I have faith in this sealer works like magic I have had bad luck with using gaskets so I guess people who are reading can avoids these mistakes.

Hey Rb what was the torque on the bolts for the brackets? Those bolts were hard to get out and I want to make sure I reverse it correctly

[@RBTheMechanic]

Judith Grimes they r had because they r stuck and the honda bond dealer is jamming them but the torque for this accord was 10ft lb make sure u do it in sequence... please subscribe also subscribe to my other channel I have great videos comming out and I got very good videos comming out that will blast the channel to very famously level and I sure will appreciate my subscribers here’s a linkkzbin.info/door/vqsPzqAZfVv_gjBYUFqNdg

When your loosening up the subframe do you just hold the engine in place right? This is my first time ever doing something like this with the engine and I don’t want to mess up anything. Thank you in advance.

Rb what was the torque spec on those oil pan bolts? Approximately how long did you leave the Honda bond cure before you reinstalled it?

[@RBTheMechanic]

I tightened t to 18ft lb and I cant remember how long I left it alone but give it good 3 hrs should be perfect

[@clintonmatthews9675]

Good job man

[@angelisone]

How many mileages that caused the oil pan leaks? So dumb how Honda built the SUV and Civic. You have to remove the three mount mounts just to get & remove the oil pan? You do know that many DIYers DO NOT have a lift. Should have done with basic tools like jack stands & jack.

[@RBTheMechanic]

angelisone sorry but it needs to be lifted big job make sure ur supported well you don’t have to remove the mounts just the bolts on top so the frame can drop it’s the only way

[@angelisone]

@@RBTheMechanic Very lousy Honda designs. It gets much worst and intense labor to remove & install Oil Pump O-Ring. These two cases, many owners will not pay for the repairs. 2005 CRV w/P2646, when VTEC Solenoid, VTC Screen Filter & Mobil I/Filter installed didn't help What is the true fix?

@@RBTheMechanic Honda as well as Toyota and Nissan have fooled many people thinking that their vehicles are good until they get the estimated repair bills. Heck, changing spark plugs on Porsche & Lambo are lot easier than changing spark plugs on Japanese's.
