Hino 500 Series Workshop Manual download

- Scope and quick summary
- This guide covers removing, inspecting, resealing, or replacing the engine oil pan on a Hino 500 Series (diesel truck). It is written for a complete beginner with basic tools. Follow local safety rules and consult the Hino workshop manual for torque figures and model-specific removal points. Use the right lifting/support equipment — do not rely on a hydraulic jack alone.

- Safety first (read before starting)
- Wear mechanic’s gloves, eye protection, and coveralls.
- Work on a flat surface, use wheel chocks, and ensure the truck is in park/neutral with the parking brake on.
- Let the engine cool fully before opening the drain plug — hot oil causes burns.
- Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use jack stands rated for the truck weight or a hoist.

- Tools you likely already have (basic tools) — what they are and how to use them
- Socket set (metric; common sizes 8–22 mm)
- Description: ratchet handle plus detachable sockets. Needed for pan bolts, drain plug, and brackets.
- How to use: select the correct socket, push onto the ratchet, place on bolt head, pull handle to loosen/tighten. Keep bolts organized.
- Combination wrench set (metric)
- Description: open-end and box-end wrenches for bolts in tight places.
- How to use: use box end for more grip on a stubborn nut; open end where socket won’t fit.
- Torque wrench (click-type or beam)
- Description: sets final bolt tightening to specified torque to avoid warping or leaks.
- How to use: preset to the manufacturer torque spec and tighten until the wrench clicks, or read the beam scale. Tighten bolts in a crisscross pattern gradually.
- Oil drain pan
- Description: wide shallow container to catch used oil.
- How to use: position under drain plug/center of pan, loosen drain plug with socket/wrench, allow oil to drain fully.
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips)
- Description: used for fasteners, prying small things, easing gasket edges.
- How to use: use correct tip to avoid rounding heads; use flat to gently pry the pan after bolts are removed.
- Gasket scraper / gasket removal tool (plastic or metal)
- Description: blade to remove old gasket material and sealant from mating surfaces.
- How to use: keep blade flat and scrape gently to avoid gouging the aluminum/machined surface; plastic scraper is safer for beginners.
- Wire brush and clean rags
- Description: cleans mating surfaces and bolt threads.
- How to use: brush off rust/old sealant, then wipe with rags and brake cleaner.
- Brake cleaner / parts cleaner
- Description: solvent to remove oil and residue from mating surfaces.
- How to use: spray and wipe until surfaces are clean and dry.
- Funnel
- Description: pours oil back into the engine without spilling.
- How to use: insert into fill neck, pour used/new oil slowly.
- Gloves and eye protection
- Description: protect hands from hot oil and chemicals, protect eyes from splashes.
- How to use: wear during all steps.

- Extra/recommended tools (why they’re required)
- Jack and heavy-duty jack stands or vehicle ramps or a commercial lift
- Why: you need safe access under the truck. Hino 500 is heavy and higher than passenger cars; use stands rated for the gross vehicle weight or ramps designed for heavy trucks.
- How to use: use the jack only to lift, then place stands at manufacturer-recommended support points, lower onto stands, verify stability.
- Impact wrench (pneumatic or electric) — optional but useful
- Why: some pan bolts may be tight or corroded; impact speeds removal.
- How to use: use correct socket, apply short bursts. Avoid over-torquing when re-installing — finish with a torque wrench.
- Torque adapter for impact (if using) or torque multiplier — optional
- Why: an impact cannot set precise torque; torque wrench is required for final tightening.
- Transmission jack or floor jack with plywood pad — optional
- Why: some Hino oil pans are large and heavy; a jack supports the pan while lowering to avoid dropping and damaging it or the pickup tube.
- How to use: place a piece of plywood on the jack to spread load, support pan, lower slowly as bolts are removed.
- Sealant/RTV (high-temp silicone gasket maker) and/or new gasket
- Why: pan gasket is usually replaced or re-sealed to prevent oil leaks. Use the correct type (engine oil-resistant, high-temp).
- How to use: clean mating surfaces, apply thin bead only where specified by manual, or place new gasket per instructions.
- New drain plug crush washer (copper or aluminium) or new drain plug if damaged
- Why: the crush washer seals the drain plug to prevent leaks; it should be replaced each time.
- How to use: remove old washer, place new washer on plug and tighten to spec.
- Replacement oil pan (if damaged) and new oil pan bolts or studs — only if required
- Why: pan may be cracked, corroded, or threaded holes stripped — replacement is required to stop leaks.
- How to use: mount new pan with new gasket and torque bolts to spec.
- Pickup tube gasket or O-ring (if present)
- Why: pickup tube seals can leak or be disturbed when pan is removed. Replace to avoid air ingress.
- How to use: replace old gasket/O-ring and torque pickup bolts per spec.
- Manual or OEM workshop manual (Hino service manual)
- Why: gives exact torque specs, bolt patterns, removal sequences, and notes specific to engine code/model.
- How to use: consult for torque values and any model-specific steps; follow those values.

- Parts you may need and why
- Oil pan gasket (paper, rubber, or molded gasket)
- Why: old gasket often compressed, cracked, or contaminated — replacement ensures proper seal.
- RTV/sealant (engine-rated) if the gasket is a sealant type or if manual calls for sealant in spots
- Why: fills irregularities and complements gasket or forms a seal where needed.
- Drain plug crush washer or new drain plug
- Why: single-use washer ensures metal-to-metal seal. Replace any stripped/broken drain plug.
- Oil pan (replacement)
- Why: required if pan is cracked, warped, corroded, or threaded holes are damaged.
- Pickup tube gasket / O-ring
- Why: disturbed during service; old ones can leak or allow air into oil pickup.
- Oil filter and engine oil (quantity and grade for your engine)
- Why: whenever you drain oil, replace filter and refill with the correct amount and grade.
- Bolts/studs (OEM replacements if original hardware is damaged or stretched)
- Why: avoid re-using damaged or stretched bolts; use correct length and grade.

- Step-by-step procedure (sequence in bullets)
- Prepare the truck
- Park on level ground, chock wheels, set parking brake.
- Disconnect negative battery terminal (optional but recommended when working under vehicle).
- Lift and support safely
- Use a hydraulic jack to raise the truck at manufacturer lift points, then place jack stands or drive up ramps. Confirm stability.
- Position drain pan and drain oil
- Place oil drain pan under the oil sump/drain plug.
- Loosen drain plug with socket/wrench; remove slowly to control flow. Allow oil to drain fully.
- Remove drain plug and fit a new crush washer on reassembly.
- Remove obstructions
- Remove any crossmembers, heat shields, exhaust brackets, or other components that block oil pan removal. Use sockets/wrenches and keep fasteners labeled/bagged.
- If the pickup tube or baffle attaches to the pan, note positions and remove bolts carefully.
- Support the oil pan
- Place a floor jack or helper under the pan to take its weight.
- Loosen oil pan bolts using the correct socket; work around the pan to gradually free it. Keep bolts in a tray in order if needed.
- Detach the pan
- Once bolts are loose/removed, gently pry the pan free with a plastic scraper or screwdriver wrapped with tape to avoid gouging. Lower the pan slowly and set it aside.
- Inspect pan for metal shavings, coolant/oil contamination, or damage.
- Inspect components
- Check oil pickup tube and screen for debris or damage; clean if necessary. Replace pickup gasket/O-ring if removed or damaged.
- Inspect pan mating surface on the block for old gasket material, nicks, or warping.
- Clean mating surfaces
- Scrape and clean block and pan surfaces with a gasket scraper and brake cleaner until dry and free of oil/residue.
- Prepare new gasket/sealant
- If using a gasket, position it on the pan per manual. If using RTV/sealant, apply a continuous thin bead as specified (usually around bolt holes and corners, not continuous everywhere unless instructed).
- Replace any pan inserts or baffles as they were originally oriented.
- Refit the pan
- Lift pan into position using the jack for support; hand-start bolts to avoid cross-threading.
- Tighten bolts finger-tight in an even cross pattern to compress the gasket evenly.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten to the manufacturer’s specified torque in the sequence recommended by the manual. If you don’t have the manual, tighten gradually and evenly to a conservative torque rating and check for leakage after running — but obtaining the manual is strongly recommended.
- Reinstall removed components
- Refit any crossmembers, shields, or brackets removed earlier. Torque their bolts to spec.
- Reinstall drain plug
- Fit a new crush washer and tighten to the specified torque.
- Refill engine oil and replace filter
- Replace the oil filter, then refill with the correct oil type and quantity for your Hino 500 engine.
- Start engine, let idle briefly, and check for leaks around pan and drain plug.
- Final checks
- With engine warm, re-torque pan/drain bolts if manual specifies a re-torque.
- Re-check oil level and top up if needed. Inspect for leaks after short road test.

- Common problems and what to do
- Persistent leak after reassembly
- Likely causes: warped pan, incorrect gasket, insufficient/incorrect sealant, or loose bolts.
- Action: drain oil, remove pan, clean surfaces, install new gasket or replace pan if warped.
- Stripped pan bolt threads
- Likely causes: over-tightening or corrosion.
- Action: repair with helicoil/insert or replace block studs (workshop-level repair) — if you are a beginner, get professional help.
- Metal shavings in pan
- Likely causes: internal engine wear or catastrophic bearing failure.
- Action: do not ignore — consult a mechanic or perform further diagnosis (bearing/piston damage). Pan cleaning alone may hide a severe problem.

- When you must replace the oil pan (summary)
- Visible cracks or holes
- Severely corroded threads or mating surface
- Warped pan that won’t seal after new gasket
- Large amounts of metal debris embedded in pan or pickup damage
- If any of the above, install a new OEM or quality aftermarket oil pan and new gasket/seal.

- Final notes (short and practical)
- Always use the Hino workshop manual for exact torque specs and any engine-specific sequences.
- Replace the oil filter and crush washer every time you change the oil pan gasket or drain oil.
- If you encounter heavily corroded or seized bolts, consider professional help rather than forcing them (risk of breaking studs).
- Dispose of used oil and contaminated rags responsibly at a recycling facility.

- Quick parts checklist to have before you start
- Correct volume and grade of engine oil
- New oil filter
- Oil pan gasket or RTV (as required)
- Drain plug crush washer (or new plug)
- Clean rags and brake cleaner
- Replacement pan/pickup gaskets if pan/pickup needs replacement
