Engine oil leaks can often be problematic. These not only cause unsightly stains but may lead to serious problems if not repaired. That’s why Fel-Pro provides oil pan gaskets that are designed for the repair environment to help seal imperfect sealing surfaces. Proprietary materials and proven technologies like PermaDry and PermaDryPlus help ensure a reliable seal on even the most troublesome applications.
Fel-Pro provides exclusive sealing innovations and technologies with proprietary materials and unique design features to ensure a superior seal for your repair.
Fel-Pro PermaDryPlus applications feature a one-piece construction that is easier to install than multi-piece assemblies.
SnapUps aid in holding the gasket in place for easier installation and allow for quick bolt tightening available with PermaDryPlus and select PermaDry sets.
Fel-Pro gasket sets include every part needed for the repair unless otherwise noted.
The job of the oil pan gasket is to prevent motor oil from leaking out of the oil pan. Sealing the oil pan to the bottom of the engine, the oil pan gasket must withstand the stresses of the two surfaces expanding, shrinking and rubbing while sealing in motor oil. Fel-Pro’s oil pan gaskets feature application-specific torque limiters help eliminate overtightening, gasket splitting and extruding and proprietary sealing solutions to help eliminate problematic leak paths. To make for an easier installation, PermaDryPlus oil pan gaskets feature a one-piece construction which helps reduce potential for installation errors.
Oil pans are typically made of lightweight aluminum, stamped steel or an alloy. With the repeated heating and cooling cycles of the engine, the gasket will relax over time and no longer provide a seal. Lack of maintenance will also degrade sealing materials. Overtightening the oil pan fasteners may crush the gasket and damage the oil pan gaskets creating further leakage. Over time, the oil pan gasket can fail from the stress of the engine heating and cooling during normal operation. The oil pan gasket can become brittle and crack, leading to gasket failure. Symptoms of a failing oil pan gasket include:
Some OE applications use RTV in place of an oil pan gasket. Fel-Pro offers a gasket for these applications that is a premium alternative to RTV. The Fel-Pro gasket allows for immediate sealing of the oil pan, no waiting for the RTV to cure or smearing the RTV during a difficult installation.
Installing an oil pan gasket with the engine in the vehicle can be difficult. Fel-Pro SnapUps, featured in PermaDryPlus and select PermaDry oil pan gasket sets, are an innovative way to speed up oil pan gasket replacement. Simply thread the SnapUps into the block where the oil pan bolts go, slide the oil pan gasket onto the SnapUps, followed by the pan. Once the pan is secure with the pan’s fasteners, the SnapUps are easily removed.
Fel-Pro oil pan gaskets are designed so that no additional sealers are needed. Fel-Pro's premium materials compensate for surface imperfections and provide the proper amount of torque retention. Older applications using multi-piece oil pan gaskets will require some adhesive to hold the gaskets in place during the installation. Some oil pan gaskets may require the use of RTV at front and rear corners of the engine such as timing cover and rear main bearing journals, as well as joints where the timing cover and rear main bearing retainer meet the engine block. Always consult the product instructions (where applicable) for sealing requirements prior to installation and follow manufacturer torque and torque sequence instructions.
