Oil pan gasket

[In Utopia]

Replacing the pan gasket on my L175, what's the best product to use to hold the gasket in place?

 

[Russell King]

I suggest something like Hylomar or Permatex #2

 

[Motion]

I prefer Permatex #3

Permatex 20539 Indian Head Gasket Shellac for me.

3M 8008 weatherstrip adhesive is my go-to. I also use it as a tattle tale drain plug marking seal on all customers vehicles …… until yesterday.
