generally all the bolts on our cars are gonna be 10mm or 13mm, with some exceptions of course. I always reach for the 10mm first, 9 out of 10 times that's what it'll be (unless it's obviously much larger)

A couple more things to add.
![]() 1-use BLUE threadlocker on the oil pan bolts when you reinstall them. This will help keep them from vibrating out. 2-IMO I ALWAYS clean all the old paint off the oil pan sealing surface. Toyota says not to, but they assume the paint isn't scratched. If it's scratched oil residue can get under the scratch and is next to impossible to full clean out. Oil residue means the silicone won't seal to the surface at that point, which means you will most likely have a leak. 3-Ultra fine sandpaper is great for cleaning off the old silicone from the block surface. Something over 1000 grit. QUOTE(GriffGirl @ Mar 21, 2008 - 2:48 PM) [snapback]656482[/snapback] generally all the bolts on our cars are gonna be 10mm or 13mm, with some exceptions of course.

Starter bolts are 14MM Oil pan are 10mm [not sure which your'e asking about] -------------------- ![]() |
