Hello. Just found this forum.
I have a Fiat 500 with an aluminum oil pan which I am replacing. Got the bolts out but the pan is still stuck tight. Any suggestions? Also, I assume it has a pan gasket too. Right? It doesn't look like there is much space between the pan and block.
Thanks for any input!

What age of 500?

Sorry, forgot to say it was a 2013 Fiat 500.

If it is a 0.9 twin air then the sump has the silicone type gasket which you squeeze out of a tube, you will need to try and get something in between the sump and the block to beak the seal.


We had a hole in our sump a couple of years ago and had to replace it. You won't get much change from £250 though

Thanks. I was wondering if there was such a thing as silicone instead of a gasket.

Try on of those snap off type knifes should be slim enough to get in the gap and cut through the sealent
