Default Advise on oil pan gasket on 95' 90.

Got any tips with the gasket replacement on the oil pan. Do you use any sealant or put it on dry? How about the actual gasket, should I stick with a dealer part? Torque requirements? Any responce is greatly appreiated. Thanks.

Any DIY maintenance should be accompanied with some sort of referance material! Namely the Bentley Manual, if for nothing else torque spec's!

Use only the OEM gaskets! ;O)

They can be had from "other than dealership sources", to save some cash!

No extra sealents required.

Torque spec's can be found in Manual. ;O)

Do not over torque the bolts! Aluminum oil pan very easy to strip!
