Re: oil pan gasket
Well unfortunatly I will not be able to help you, since they dont use a gasket. They use silicone. Which can be picked up at any local parts house.
any recomendations form the dsm guru's of the baords for a specific type?

Re: oil pan gasket
the black rtv is what i've always used; it will say 'for oil pans' in the recommended uses on the label.
Tip: use enough, but not too much, and be careful to not scrape any of it off when you re-install the oil pan.
Tip #2: 5 ft-lbs or so on the oil pan bolts--they strip very easily! check your manual.

Re: oil pan gasket
Ultra black works great. I have also used Ultra copper because that is all I had, worked fine.

Re: oil pan gasket
Ultra black works great, so would something like hondabond. I've used ultra grey before, but that doesn't work very well imho.

Re: oil pan gasket
Do not use the blue RTV, even if that is your only choice, use the above mentioned.

Yes, copper is oil resistant. I use it on block/head, most everything on the car.

Re: oil pan gasket
IF COPPER is oil resistance... then it does have a higher temperature rating... so in some ways yes it would be better than the ultra black

Re: oil pan gasket
Copper is higher temp, black is stickier and seems to seal a bit better. I think I am using ultra black this time around, it will look better too
