  Q: How to service and repair the oil pan baffle while ensuring cleanliness during engine repair procedures on Ford Five Hundred?

  A: Service and repair of the oil pan baffle requires maintaining engine work area cleanliness to avoid foreign material entering fluid passageways thus causing engine failure. Base your operations by securing the vehicle to a hoist then set the transmission to neutral position. First remove the oil pump screen and pickup tube before removing the eight baffle securing nuts on the oil pan. Install the baffle by first tightening nuts to 5 Nm (44 inch lbs.) before adding a further 45-degree turn to the nuts. Perform the reverse actions to conclude the installation process.
