How often does anyone find themselves re-tightening the oil pan seal? I have had to do it twice in 20k miles. I have 108k miles on the car. Is it possible to overtighten it? I know…get a torque wrench. Thanks for the input.
Yes it is possible to over tighten. I just did mine and used a bit of Hondabond and got some lockwashers for the nuts.
HTH
You said it yourself… GET A TORQUE WRENCH.
That is all there is to it. If you dont use it, you probably tightened it down too much and/or didnt do the right tightening sequence for the oil pan. If you do it in the wrong order there is a chance that the pan gasket wont seal.
