  Q: How to service and repair the oil pan on Mercury Monterey?

  A: The first step for oil pan maintenance and repairing includes thorough cleaning to avoid motor failure from foreign substances. Beginning the procedure starts with removing the starter and dual converter Y-pipe from their positions. The removal of engine oil begins by extracting both drain plug and gasket. Detach the inspection cover by first removing the pin-type retainer with bolt and then the three oil pan-to-transaxle bolts and seventeen oil pan bolts which allow you to remove the oil pan. Use a metal surface cleaner to scrub and clean up the mating surfaces before disposing of the oil pan rear seal. You must remove the sealer when the oil pan exceeds a four-minute installation period because reapplication is needed. First apply silicone gasket and sealer to the rear main bearing cap and continue with new rear seal installation at the oil pan sealing areas after clean treatment with sealant. Follow the specified order when installing and tightening the oil pan bolts to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.). After installing the three oil pan-to-transaxle bolts at 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.), proceed to install the inspection cover and its bolt as well as the pin-type retainer. Install the oil pan drain plug with gasket which requires a torque of 26 Nm (19 ft. lbs.). After that complete the reinstallation of dual converter Y-pipe and starter before refilling the engine with new clean engine oil.
