Start the service by draining the engine oil through the removal of the oil drain plug and dual converter Y pipe extraction. Cut the wiring connection for both the low oil level sensor and the oil pan rail before loosening the nut which will shift the high-pressure power steering line aside. The next step involves removing the 16 oil pan installation bolts while you should remove the bolts from the oil pump screen cover and tube and tube. appropriate procedure is to take off the oil pan gasket from the assembly. Installation requires checking the presence and undamaged state of the oil pump screen cover and tube O-ring to avoid foam in the lubrication system, low oil pressure and serious engine breakdown. Apply Ford Super Premium SAE 5W-20 Motor Oil XO-5W20-QSP or equivalent to a new O-ring before installing both components to their respective places. All mating surfaces should be cleaned first. Two specific locations between the engine front cover and the oil pan must receive an application of the silicone gasket and sealant F7AZ-19554-EA that meets Ford specification WSE-M4G323-A4.

Reinstall the high-pressure power steering line while tightening the nut then complete wiring of the sensor and reinstall the dual converter Y pipe. After tightening the oil pan drain plug you can add new Motorcraft Super Premium SAL 5W-20 Motor Oil XO-5W20-QSP or a WSS-M2C153-H equivalent oil followed by reattachment of the battery ground cable.
