I’m using gasket and Indian head gasket shellac. No RTV or Hondabond. I’m a 50 year mechanic and gonna use what worked for eons.
I'm doing this same job right now. It is a real pain. Thanks to videos like this I am able to lessen the headache. I am also using the Felpro gasket. I don't trust myself with RTV. Thank you for doing this video.
Thanks for the feedback, i replaced 2 different Element with the Felpro and both car have no oil leak at the gasket
As long as it don’t leak you’re good 👍to go but I just did one today and I did use silicone waiting until the morning time to make sure it dries thoroughly before I do the oil hopefully I have no leaks your video was pretty good I enjoyed it thank you 😊
I replaced the oil pan on two Honda Element, so far no leak...thanks for the feedback
Thank you for creating this video! I think it is a bit too ambitious for me to try but it was good getting educated on what is involved.
Im glad it was helpful for you to make the right decision...thank you for the feedback
Thanks for the video- I gotta replace the oil pan on my '08 at some point soon. Be sure to lather the new one in grease or fluid film. Looks like she has a case of the crusties, just like mine!
It's a fairly easy job if all the bolts and nuts cooperate...cheers
Great set of videos
Glad you enjoyed it...thanks for the feedback
After replacing the pan it was supposed to be filled with oil and checked for leakage. That part also should have been included for a complete instruction info.
Well… that part is obvious, I assume the viewer to have some common sense
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox ha ha, that is funny. Hey you didn't tell the people to put oil back in their engine! :)
thats a lot of work.
That video was following the tech manual instructions, check out my "oil pan installation, a few short cut" video.. for an easier job
Your idea of using a gasket in in lieu of Honda Bond or equivalent Permatex Ultra Grey is intriguing and on my oil pan job I seriously considered it until......I saw the price for one of those, now 5 years after your video and it's a whopping $50. I think I'll go with the sealant. OK, what do I think about the gasket? Good idea for ease of installation especially when in the car since the sealant tends to get on other exterior parts when installing the pan. Long term, well you can give us an update but the reason why manufacturers went the sealant route is because a gasket creates two new surfaces for leakage to occur as opposed to one with the sealant. It's newer technology; a pan gasket is "old school".
Go with the sealant. It's the Honda Utlra Flange sealant. At one point Honda did say you could also use Honda Bond. I recommend the Ultra Flange. I'm an Honda Certified Technician and an ASE Certified Technician.
@@jameswashington8593 I actually used Permatex Ultra Grey.
@@canuckfixit7722 It works. I just never used it personally on an oil pan, but I have on the corner of Honda valve cover gaskets.
Hello friend.. Did your pan leak after time or not???
No it never leaked, good as new
The joys of salty roads.....
+MrStoneycool69 Real killer, make me want to move back on the west coast
I have a 2006 honda accord 4cylinder it looks like im goin to do pretty much the same and what a pain in the ass
Its really not that bad, I learned a few shorcut when i did it a second time (first one was a 2008, second time 2004 Element). Here is the few shortcut video: czcams.com/video/CbrhARSSSj4/video.html
Hello ! i am about to do the same job on my Honda accord 09 coupe 2.4l k24z3 engine but i don't think i need to get a new pan just change the gasket is it better to use fel-pro gasket or RTV, (engine will be in the car). Thanks really helpful video !
I think if you are pro and work with RTV gasket on a regular basis, your chance of getting it right are high. If it's something you do for the first time or on occasion, the FelPro gasket is a safer bet...enjoy your project
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox yes it's my first time and i think i will go with fel-pro
What all did you have to remove in the beginning Bumper? Anything else? Also how has the Felpro held up?
Hi the video shows what I had to dismantled and the feltpro gasket hold up really well on both car (Honda Element) that I did
I like your Honda element repair videos do you have anything new coming up
Hi joe, I have 3 video in footage but not edited yet and plan for more. Sometime life/work gets in the way and slow you down

Honda code 0341, need a new timing chain? Try this first
I see I might have a leak where the Honda bond is looking a bit thin (or the vtec is leaking and collecting there or both) can I get some rtv gasket sealer and just go over the part that might be leaking to plug the hole from the outside? Or do I have to take the entire pan off and reseal the whole thing?
The Pressure is coming from inside, unfortunately resealing the whole pan is the only way to go
Any leaks so far just using felpro gasket and no RTV? Planning to replace 2007 Acura oil pan this weekend. Thanks
I did it that way twice on two of my Elements with excellent result, no leak. I made sure that the contact surface were clean and I used a torque wrench
I must of missed the torque specs for the bolts ...
what about adding oil to the engine prior to reassembly to check for leaks?
You could, altough the oil pressure builts up with the engine running. And I definetely would not run the engine at that stage...I think the safest bet is to use a torque wrench for all the bolts and in the right sequence
How is the gasket holding on, any leaks or problems?
IS only been a few month's , so far so good
Sticks, Stones and iron
Great job, Im replacing mine with a gasket too,Im afraid messing things up with the hondabond, thanks for replying to my question
Don t forget to get new bolts...
any new updates I'm looking to do mine but trying to decided gasket or hondabond
With the engine in the car, i find it hard to do a good job with the liquid gasket. Engine outside the car, no problem
Did you use the same torque spec on the felpro as the hondabond spec on thise 10mm?
Yes
what brand oil pan did you order? I need to replace oil pan on 2007 accord. looks like the same job. thumbs up
Oil pan is from Dorman, I was told the metal on the Dorman pan are thicker than OEM
cool that's what Ill get. thx
Is it necessary to apply a little silicone to the crankcase gasket?
Hi, no need for silicone for the Felpro gasket, just make sure to torque each pan bolt to specification
Do you know if an oil pan in aluminium from another k24 would fit?
I dont know but with a little research with part numbers and parts cross reference you should find your answer…good luck
Hello place the same felpro gasket and torque 12 Nm but I still have leakage of the oil pan, what could it be?
New oil pan ?
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox No
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox thank u very much, maybe its the oil pan. A question? Did not put any RTV really with the felpro gasket? My car is a 2006 Honda CRV.
You dont need RTV if you use a gasket, it should be seal properly with the gasket properly torque. its hard to tell witout seeing it but could be the oil pan they are made of thin metal i seen one with an hairline crack. Retorq all bolts, Make sure you have none missing. Also the leak could be coming from other area like the transmission end crankshaft…or other
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox thank u bro!!! 👍🏼
How much torque we need to fasten the pan bolts?
Tighten the bolts in two or three steps, final step in sequence at 12 N-m (8.7 lbf-ft)
A local shop quoted me $800 to replace oil pan in my 2003 Honda Element!?
I think its about right...between $600 to $800
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox Thanks, appreciate that. Looks like a lot of work! Thank god for Pros!
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox Why so much? An oil pan and gasket can be purchased for under $100, unless you buy from Honda, and I've read that it should take between 2 and 3 hours to complete. Your labor cost must be over $200/hour.
You are right about the cost of parts altough I have no clue how mechanics structure their price, I do most repair on my vehicles myself so the labour is free.
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox Thanks. I got two estimates. The first was "At least $800, maybe more depending on what we find". I didn't care for that estimate.:) The second, "Looks like it will take 4 hours, so $600" That sounded more like a guy who knew what it would take. Thanks again.
what was the torque?
I did it according to the Honda Element service manual
5. Tighten the bolts/nuts in two or three steps. In the final step, tighten all bolts, in sequence, to 12 N.m 11.2 kgf.m, 8.7 Ibf-ft).
Follow the sequence shown in the video
Quick question....
What torque wrench is that??
3/8 inch torque wrench, great for smaller bolts
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox
Oh ok...
Yea thanks, so I was wondering what brand it was...hehe.

Thanks bro..👍
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox thanks
link for the hondabond?
You can find it anywhere on line or go to a Honda motorsports dealer (where they sell motorbikes and other cool toys)
