What is the suitable oil pan gasket


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I am bring the Pathy to the mechanic to replace the oil pan. Its a 3.3L 2000 Pathfinder.

I have purchased the oil pan, two half-moon gaskets, and OEM Nissan 1217 gasket maker. Does anyone know the cure time for the liquid gasket? In short, can I leave the car for a few hours for the silicone to dry, then fill up the oil, and drive back home instead of waiting for a full 24 hours?

I have also read good reviews with quick drying time for Right Stuff vs Ultra Grey vs Ultra Black. Anyone used these products before instead of the oem nissan ones?

 

Thanks,

Ultra grey works really well. The right stuff is good too but expensive. I think you'll have no issues with the grey as long as the mating surfaces are really clean, that is probably the biggest factor anyways.

The factory orange RTV only takes about 15 minutes to get tacky. IIRC, its 1/2 cured in a hour and will be fine to add oil to and drive the same day. Yes, just make sure the pand is clean and the flange isnt bent during removal.
