so last saturday i was changing my oil and found out that the last time my oil was changed the drain plug was cross threaded on the oil pan. so ive decided to just replace the whole thing. my question for you guys is, do i need to buy an oil pan gasket? i thought our cars didnt have one and had sealant instead. im online and see that they have gaskets for sale for our cars. should i buy a gasket?
edit: my motor is the 5sfe. This post has been edited by celicaracer8o5: Oct 21, 2016 - 3:49 AM |

I have used the gasket on a couple of my old 6th gens and have used sealant on a couple as well. No issues with either from what I have experienced. There has been thread discussions about it before. Hopefully it helps a little. |
