What is a good silicone sealant to use on oil pan drain bolt?
No, not in the drain bolt, but on the outside to prevent leakage at the drain plug?
This might be my last resort to my leaking oil pan. I was told to use a silicone sealant around the drain plug to prevent the leaking of oil.
If you dont know, I recently threaded a bigger bolt in my oil pan because the old one stripped the pan, and it still leaks out of the drain bolt. I am trying everything so I dont have to replace the oil pan.
I need something that will hold strong enough and resist heat, yet come off each time I change my oil? Let me know.
I was thinking about using hondas sealant that they use for the oil pans, but using it around the drain plug, what do you think?
