I'm ready to put my oil pan back on and am not sure if i can use "Permatex ultra grey gasket maker". The service manual says to use some 3M product but i can't find any around my town. I ran by the dealership and they wanted 40 bux for a little tube Mitsubishi sealant. Any one know what to use for the oil pan gasket?

 

anybody know?

 

Mega Grey from Autozone for $5.00 a tube, it works wonders . I use that stuff on everything on my car.

 

is mega grey different from ultra grey?

 

Spend the 40 bux and get it done right. dont regret it later.you get what you pay for!

 

YOu need a heavy duty silicone that dries up harder than normal. Use HondaBond or Ford Powerstroke sealant. Both of these are the only ones that truly form a high temp seal.

 

Toyota sells their sealant for $20-$30. they have have it labeled F.I.P.G. Black thick sealant. sets in minutes. I use it all the time I seal oilpans. Never had one came back for a leak.

 

Cool, thanks for the help guys. I'll just get the mitsubishi sealant and play it safe.

 

you get plenty of it when you get it from mitsu, it isnt a small tube, you can seal the pan about 4 times with one tube if you dont get crazy with it. and 40 bucks for something that you already know wont leak isnt much
