I got all the gaskets that I need to replace on my car. I got the oil pan gasket along with the pickup screen that goes in the oil pan. Also got a rear main seal. When I was at Oreilys i picked up 5 quarts of Royal Purple Oil with a K&N oil filter for $39.99. I heard sometimes coolant gets into you motor when replacing the rear main seal. Should I throw in some castrol and cheap filter and run it for a few days then drain it and put this Royal Purple in after that? Or should i just throw this Royal Purple in it when I am done and call it a day?
yeah if you replace the rear cover gasket with the rear main seal which i recommend doing. then yes the water will drain from the block and get into the oil pan when you pull the cover off. careful because it will get you too. As for the replacement of the oil if you drain the oil and do the change before you start the car again you'd be fine with just the one oil change. because the contaminated oil is only in the pan.
I guess I will do the rear main first and hen take the oil pan off an clean that up then I will be good to go. Yea I am doing all the rear main stuff. Do it once and do it right.
Save your old oil you drain when doing the job, and maybe if you have the old oil from the change before.. Leave the drain plug open and use the oil oil to flush down the heads on both sides.
