    1987 325i oil pan removal

    I pulled the oil pan to clean it and change the gasket. while I have it off is there any thing else I should attend to while I am in there??

    Thank you and good point. Are the rod bolts stretch bolts or are they reusable??

    Stretch bolts ,allways use new bolts per factory manual 20nm +70 deg

    Main bolts can be reused at 58-63nm
