  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Drain the engine oil.
  2. Remove the oil dipstick.
  3. If necessary remove the exhaust pipe crossover.
  4. If equipped with automatic transmission, remove the converter housing pan and the transmission oil cooler line retainer from the bracket.
  5. On 1996-98 models, remove the oil filter and if equipped, the oil filter adapter.
  6. If necessary, remove the starter brace and bolt and swing the starter aside.
  7. Remove the strut rods, if equipped.
  8. Remove the oil pan and discard the gaskets.
To install:
  1. Apply a suitable sealant such as GM part number 12346192 or its equivalent to the front cover-to-block joint and to the rear crankshaft seal-to-block joint. Apply the sealant about 1 inch (25mm) in both directions from each of the four corners.
  2. Clean all gasket surfaces and use new gaskets to assemble.
  3. Install new gasket and seals.
  4. Install the oil pan.
  5. On 1988-95 models, tighten the pan bolts to 100 inch lbs. (11 Nm). Tighten the pan nuts to 17 ft. lbs. (23 Nm).
  6. On 1996-98 models, tighten the oil pan nuts and bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).
  7. Install the strut rods, if equipped.
  8. If removed, install starter, starter brace and bolt.
  9. If equipped, install the oil filter adapter.
  10. If removed, install the oil filter.
  11. If equipped with automatic transmission, install the converter housing pan and the transmission oil cooler line retainer to the bracket.
  12. Install the exhaust pipe crossover.
  13. Install the oil dipstick.
  14. Fill the engine with oil and check for leaks.

How do I change the oil gasket??

Are you talking about the oil pan gasket, valve train cover gasket? Id so on either one you must remove the old gasket an replace it. You can try tightening the bolts some to see if that stops the leak, but if not, the gasket should be replaced.

Changing oil pan gasket on 1989 Ford Aerostar

drain the oil from the pan and remove the filter.
Lift the car up and secure it . So it will not roll or fall. Remove the bolts from the pan using a 10 mm or so and a rachet and small extension. There are several bolts all around the pan. Remove the pan and remove the gasket. Clean up the pan and remove all gasket material from the pan. Install the new gasket around the pan and replace back.
