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

  A: The first step in repairing an oil pan requires the removal of the battery ground cable followed by removing the Dipstick for oil level inspection. You must drain engine oil by opening the drain plug of the oil pan following splash shield removal and care for the drain plug before installing it with a new washer. The first step involves unplugging the Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) wire harness before placing a screw-type jack beneath the crankshaft pulley to which you should add a shop rag for protection. Begin by taking out through bolts from both left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) engine support insulators and proceed with transverse member bolts removal. When disconnecting the H02S electrical connector users should move the exhaust outlet pipe away by taking out adjacent nuts and bolt. First remove the exhaust outlet pipe bracket and the transaxle to engine separator plate through the removal of respective bolts. After that remove the LH transaxle-to-engine brace by taking out the bolts and nut. After removing the oil pan, discard the seals along with the specified sequence of removing oil pan bolts. Apply new oil pan seals before installing them onto clean surfaces of the oil pan. Apply Silicone Gasket and Sealant F7AZ-19554-EA or equivalent which meets Ford specification WSE-M4G323-A4 both to the seals and as a bead along the oil pan. Position the oil pan while installing its bolts according to their specified tightening sequence. The installation begins with the transaxle-to-engine separator plate while also including exhaust outlet pipe bracket and LH transaxle-to-engine brace installation. The exhaust outlet pipe nuts and bolt follow in the sequence. The H02S electrical connector needs installation before adding the transverse member while securing LH and RH engine support insulators. After removing the screw-type jack allow the H02S wire harness installation while reattaching the engine splash shield. Stop the vehicle before lowering it to reinstall the oil level dipstick and then fill the engine with Super Premium SAE SW-30 Motor Oil XO-5W30-QSP or equivalent WSS-M2C153-G specification oil to the indicated level. Reconnect the battery ground cable afterward.
