Welp my mom was bickering at me again to change her oil and mine. Anyway just being in a bad mood whenever this occurs I raised my car with a jack between the front suspension arms. And guess what... it slipped denting my oil pan.
Ok well staring at the damage a while i thought it would be ok since the dent isn't major. I thought wrong. I started the car and the oil icon came on. Soon after the engine getting really loud, probably an oil shortage within the engine.
I only have the fsm for the sr20det engine that i downloaded here on zilvia. But i was wondering if the torque specifications for the ka24de would be the same. Also would i need ot replace any gaskets?
I was also wondering if I could just hammer the oil pan back in place. Thanx for your help.
Nightmare oil change need advice...
Ok well i just finished taking out the oil pan. It was straight forward as you guys described, not to mention twas a major pain.
The pan is dented pretty bad. I tried hammering it into place but it deemed hopeless. The damage is so bad that the location where it had contact with the jack made a indentation 4" by 6". And the angle of the pan has changed dramatically.
I measured the oil pick up to be roughly 5.75". Tthe indenation caused the oil pick up to come incontact with the oil pan. I saw some scraps and such. Well it's pretty bad so i'm going to head over to nissan and pick one up tomorrow.
