Fel-Pro® Offers Alternative to RTV for Oil Pan Repairs

Inside the Problem

On some vehicles, there are parts like the oil pan that come from the factory sealed with RTV rather than a gasket. When it’s time to perform a repair, it can be time consuming and problematic to remove the old RTV and replace it with new RTV. To solve this problem, the engineers at Fel-Pro® went to work on an alternative to using RTV to seal the oil pan. The result? A better way to seal this critical part on select applications.

The Solution: Fel-Pro PermaDryPlus® with SpeedFit™ Technology

Fel-Pro continues its problem-solving tradition with its new PermaDryPlus gaskets with SpeedFit technology. This innovative gasket allows the use of a gasket where RTV is currently the only alternative to re-seal. Installation is a snap, just:
