I prefer gasket maker, if done right it is simple and wont leak period. Guys use gaskets with good luck too, I think you can actually put gasket maker under the seal. The mani thing, avoid a leak because it is an incredible waste in this application. Get the metal thread upgrade,
they have synthetic filter options for canister, only use mopar sump they are great. Redline c+ is a great fluid for the rfe. do yourself a favor and get the corect metal thread, stay away from billet ones they are loose,
this one. To use gasket maker right you should let pan sit overnight before you fill.
