I am planning on installing a new oil pan gasket in the very near future. What I was wondering is if I use fel-pro gasket should i use any RTV or do I just install the pan gasket dry? I just don't want to have to install it yet again.

 

{ YES RTV } on the half moons and at least a inch back on the flat areas - dry they leak like a sive

 

Suggest purchase the " Plastic Oil Pan Hold up Snaps" extras while replacing Gasket and Pan. These Plastic Snaps make life much easier, especially if you are doing a Pan change while Engine is still mounted.
