To complete the job, you will need an inspection pit or overpass, as well as a high-temperature sealant that is safe for oxygen concentration sensors (for example, Loctite 242).
Sequence of execution
Note. The work is shown on the example of removal and installation on a car with a 1.6 DOHC engine and a manual transmission. On cars with other engines and equipped with an automatic transmission, the operation is performed similarly.
1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").

2. Drain the oil (see "Lubrication system - oil and oil filter replacement").
3. Remove the exhaust pipe (see "Intake pipe - replacement").
4. Remove the two plastic plugs from the clutch housing.
5. Using a TORX E10 key with an extension, unscrew the fifteen bolts securing the oil pan to the engine cylinder block.
6. Unscrew all the bolts securing the gearbox to the engine oil pan (see "Gearbox - removal and installation").
7. Lightly tapping the pan with a rubber-headed hammer, separate the pan from the engine cylinder block.
8. Clean the mating surfaces of the oil pan and cylinder block from old sealant.
9. If there is a large amount of oil deposits in the crankcase, it must be cleaned. For ease of cleaning, use the TORX key to unscrew the eight mounting bolts and remove the crankcase partition.
10. Clean the oil pan and its partition from oil deposits.
11. Install the engine oil pan partition.
12. Apply sealant to the mating surface of the oil pan.
13. Install the oil pan and tighten the bolts to the specified torque (see "Reference data").
Note: The two bolts securing the oil pan to the cylinder block, located under the plastic plugs of the clutch housing, are longer than the others.
14. We carry out further assembly in the reverse order.
15. Fill with oil (see "Lubrication system - oil and oil filter replacement").
16. Start the engine and make sure there are no oil leaks at the junction of the engine cylinder block and the oil pan.
