Before I even ask this question, I will say that i do know that you're supposed to use RTV grey / black in areas like your oil pan.

I assume it's because of it's oil resisting properties but I want to know exactly why you should use Grey RTV instead of say, red RTV. I figured it wouldn't make much difference so I used red on my oil pan since it was "high temp" and all that. ( was a temporary thing ). I already went and bought the right shit so I will be changing that up tomorrow but I was just curious! I think it's not sealing off the oil pan properly but it's hard to tell since it wouldn't have a constant leak.
