• Q: How to Maintain and Fix the Oil Pan on 2000 Lincoln Continental?

  A: Beginning the oil pan servicing process requires users to disconnect the battery ground cable before draining the engine oil through the oil drain plug removal step. Remove the dual converter Y pipe and untether sensor wires from both the low oil level sensor as well as the oil pan rail. The high-pressure power steering line should be positioned aside after the nut removal so you can remove all 16 oil pan bolts. The service begins with removing oil pump screen bolts followed by oil pump screen cover and tube removal to finally take off the oil pan gasket. Begin the installation by putting on the oil pump screen before attaching and tightening its cover bolts. Application of Silicone Gasket and Sealant F7AZ-19554-EA or an equivalent product under Ford specification WSK-M4G323-A4 should be done in two regions where the engine front cover meets the oil pan before installing the oil pan gasket. The bolt installation will proceed through two stages by tightening the nuts to 20 Nm (14 ft. lbs.) in sequential order before turning them an additional 60 degrees with sequence precision. Follow the procedure to connect the wiring for the low oil level sensor and oil pan rail and then install the dual converter Y pipe. Reinstall your drainage plug onto the oil pan while following the torque specifications and reconnect the battery's ground cable afterward. Then proceed to add a new oil supply of Motorcraft Super Premium SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil XO-5W30-QSP or another compatible oil with WSS-M2C153-G specification.
