Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Dropped pan during oil change. Good news. Completely clean. No orange bits other debris. After took out bolts, I realized three are longer than the rest. Anyone know which holes the longer ones go in. If not, I'll just do by trial and error.
Parts manual shows all bolts the same size, M6 x 16mm.
Figured it out. Longer three for holes that go all the way though.
Mine are all the same... tip for when your putting the sump back on.... Get a 4 real long M6... like 30MM and cut the heads off them. Put them finger tight in the corners of the case and use them as guides to put the sump back on evenly and straight to not mess up your nice RTV job... once its up secure with a couple of the right bolts and take out your guides.
