Do you need to remove sump pan in Nissan Patrol?
Yes you need to remove the Air con compressor and gearbox to remove the sump. The aircon bracket is in the way of a couple bolts and there are a few bolts at the back of the engine. Oh dann.
Do you have to drop the gearbox to remove the oil sump?
To my knowledge you have to drop the gearbox also, at least on manual GU/GR ZD30. It is very common with modern diesels to have to remove the gearbox or engine to get the sump off and it sucks a big wang as far as I’m concerned. Can most definitely confirm YES the auto needs to be removed to drop the top pan.
Do I have to drop the oil pan to remove the timing chain?
Depending on the engine and what it’s in, I remove the oil pan for an original equipment timing chain replacement. Back in the day, the factory (and not just GM) used nylon on the chain gears and this will come apart over the years. By removing the oil pan, I can clean all the pieces and other just that builds up.
Do you have to loosen up the oil pan?
If you clipped the corners of the timing cover where the front lip seal sits on the oil pan before you installed it then, no, you don’t even have to loosen up the oil pan. That is SOP whenever installing a new timing cover for me. Blown Camaro and budro6968 like this. NO!
What should I do if my oil pan is stuck?
It really relies on the pan being perfect and the mounting surface being clean for the seal to work, and the seal is just a bead of RTV. Yes , a little mild persuasion should do it. And like Rhino said, make sure the surface is super clean and grease free before resealing it. Carb cleaner or brake cleaner are good degreasers.
