Since the oil pan is aluminum, is there any certain extra care needed
when re- tightneing the oil pan bolt? Eventually I will probably
change oil myself only for the convenience of doing it when I want it
done.

its called a torque wrench

This was a valid question.

You don't need to insult others if you choose to answer. In fact, the person
you are really insulting is yourself.

All this brings up a good point that if you have an aluminum oil pan,
you damn well better have the oil changed by someone who knows waht
they are doing. I have heard some real horror stories coming from
people who have gone to Jiffy Lube.

I have yet to see a mechanic using a torque wrench on a oil plug...Is anyone
here using a torque wrench for this?

I too have never seen one use a torque wrench. I think a bit of
caution should be used because most aluminum alloys have about 1/3
the strength of steel. One of my collegues mentioned that the clowns
at Jiffy lube screwed up his son's Mustang by either over tightening
or cross threading the plug. Jiffy Lube didn't want to take
responsibility. He had to fight them to get restitution.

Did your mechanic friend show you how to use his new tool?

Tell him to use his hand next time.

It must be new to him, or he would know by now that using it on an oil
plug is a waste of time.

**** boys
aluminum has been used in oil pads gor years

ya focktards time to step into 2005
fock now ya tards wanna get out yer
torque wrenches
lmfao
u go girls

What cars have used aluminum for oil pans for years? I have never
owned one before the Escape. I have owned most GM cars in the past and
now I have Fords. As far as I know, the GM cars all had steel or cast
iron engine parts. Actually my 85 cutlass had an aluminum intake
manifold, I think.

I remember the 74 Vega had an aluminum engine and was a lot of
trouble.

A friend of mine showed me a piston from a Olds cutlass 403 in^3 and
it appears to be an aluminum alloy.

Aluminum has a wt density of .098 lb/in^3 and steel is .286 lb/in^3.
There is a definite mass advantage ot having a lighter piston, but the
modulus of elasticity for steel (or cast iron) is 30x10^6 psi as
opposed ot 10x10^6 psi for aluminum. The stiffness to mass ratio for
steel is the same as that of aluminum, but the strength of hardened
(and tempered) steel is way greater than that of aluminum.

I guess it has been decide by auto manufacturers that stiffness and
strength is not important and mass is important?

How long will an aluminum engine last as oppised to cast iron.

you reallt are retarded
race engines are aluminum
as well as some old v6 from the 50s

old technology
