  Q: How do you remove and reinstall an oil pan in 3.0L V6 engine on Chrysler Imperial?

  A: As for the removal of the oil pan, there is much to do, Remove the negative terminal of the battery,Lift the vehicle and place it on jackstands. Take off the UVP and, while installing a new oil filter on the engine, drain the oil. Loose the exhaust pipe from the rear manifold and while supporting the engine/transaxle you need a hoist or a jack but be sure to put a wood plank between the jack and the bell housing. Remove the bolts from the engine mounts and lift the engine/transaxle assembly so as to have room for the removal of the oil pan. Loosen and take out the oil pan bolts and then take off the oil pan without straining the sealing surfaces; if it is rigid use a hammer and a piece of wood to remove it off. Remove all the remnants of the old gasket material and sealant from the block and the pan by using a gasket scraper with the use of a solvent. Remove the bolts on the oil pick-up tube and screen assembly and then replace the gasket on the flange of the oil pick-up tube and on tightening the bolts to the extent of the recommended torque. Check that the threaded holes in the block are free from debris, apply a smear of sealant to the oil pump-to-block and the rear seal retainer-to-block mating surfaces and apply a further thin continuous bead along the oil pan flange. After that, replace the oil pan and fasten the bolts in a particular pattern and to the required torque. The rest of the installation procedures are more or less the reverse of the removal process. After the sealant has dried for 30 minutes add more oil to the crankcase and start the engine and check the pressure of the oil and also whether there is any leak.
