I'm putting in a new clutch so I figured I will fix the leak on my oilpan while I'm at it. I ordered the gasket from Advanced Auto the other day. Anyways I heard there is no gasket on the stock oil pans that they just glue them or something. Is it going to be hard to get the oil pan off? Any suggestion?

 

On mine they used a rubber compound material so I guess it's true. To get it apart, I used a flat head screwdriver to gently pry at it, and then slid it down the length working it around as best I could. It took a little doing, but it finally came off.

 

Thanks. Would anyone happen to know the torque specs for the oil pan?

Get high temp copper gasket maker to seal it, f-the gasket you bought.

 

i got sick of rtv gasket maker so i used the actual felpro gasket and had no issues after that.

 

Comes down to personal preference I guess.

 

Permatex ultra black, and you'll never be dissatisfied.

 

i've got the same. my car has high mileage. on the hyundai illustration it's just gasket maker. so i'm going to use my copper sealant.

 

felpro, costs me like 20 something.
