They aren't hard to do as long as you get something to scrape off the gasket from the bottom of the engine block, and make sure you have a good clean surface to mate the new oil pan to.





Tighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern. Loosely the first pass. Then do a second pass to tighten the bolts to torque specs.
Check the price for the pan first before getting to excited to do this job.Secondly yes guru is dead on with his step by step instructions but if your not doing this on a lift and your doing it on the ground your in for a boatload of fun.On the lift its a very simple procedure on the ground yeah welll lets just say dont have the kids around while your doing it.
better left to the dealer or volvo specialist. special gasket liquid is required cause it doesnt use an actual gasket---see volvo guru's answer for part #. the o-rings are kinda tough to keep in place and if they are pinched or not in right it'll leak. you should use the engine lift to raise the engine a little also. the gasket material is anabolic and is rolled on like paint with a roller.





good luck !!
