If anyone is wondering, this procedure applies to the 2002-2006 CRVs as well. I just did the oil pan gasket on my 2005 CRV from the garage floor with a few jackstands and jacks, and the subframe procedure is exactly the same 🎉✌️

Thanks for this video - best one I've found so far for the oil pan. I'll be working on the ground, and I was wondering if you could clarify if you're referring to jackstands or actual jacks supporting the subframe. With Jackstands I don't think I could lower or raise themin smooth increments like you do with the pole stands. Thank you again!

My oil pan bolt is strip in there and I'm kinda tight on cash to replace the pan. Can I have a shop retap the drain hole????

[@raeleo4501]

OK I did this, and I’m wondering what I could’ve broke. I had no code prior after one trip the next day check engine light came on reading P2647 Control unit:09 Status: Confirmed Rocker arm actuator A, bank 1 - actuator stuck on VTEC Oil Pressure Switch Circuit High Voltage The VTEC solenoid is only a year old, I will replace it tonight and put in a new one but I’m concerned that I’ve done irreparable damage. Any thoughts? What could I have broke?

[@dragontak2004]

Did you use a paper gasket and rtv?

[@alexeschenbaum8043]

Is there a diagram for the long and short pan bolts? The bolts were removed before we realized they were different lengths.

[@therelaxer40]

What makes it necessary to change the oil pan? Drain plug damaged?

[@mds2465]

is this process also the same for a 2005 CR-V?

+Michael Sackstein This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
