Remove a 2005 cr-v honda oil pan - 2005 Honda CRV 2.2

Remove all bolts in the pan assembly. You may need to remove other objects that may obstruct the removal of the oil pan bolts. It would be a good idea to have the oil drained prior to pan removal. The oil pan uses a special RTV sealant instead of a gasket and can be a pain to seperate from the engine block. Use a soft faced hammer and strike the sides of the oil pan until it begins to loosen from the block. You can then use a screwdriver/prybar to seperate the seal and have the pan come off
