oil pan gasket
why the heck is impossible to find one? everywhere including the dealership told me to use that silicone stuff... I say no. I had them search for cavaliers and grandams, nothing. the guy at napa said he though the ome ones were drying out and leaking (like mine) that why thy are so hard to find? rockauto s the only place I could find with them. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...&parttype=8612 well here they are if anyone else is looking for them. I ordered the OE style one. shipping was about $13.

Yea, use a gasket whenever possible. Unless you have what you know is a warp in your oil pan, then you will want to use the GM Engine Sealant to do the job

because it was hard to find so it took extra time, and I had to pay shipping, and now I have to wait for it...

(Different car I know)
I'm looking on gettingh a girdle rear end cover on my Delta and the instructions say to NOT use a gasket, just a bead of RTV on the inside of the bolt holes. They say the use of a gasket will hurt the deflection of the carrier that this thing is going to prevent 
It's the ONLY money I'm putting in the the 7.5 rear end

O.o ... As I understand It's a simple drain, unbolt, clean, rebolt. Haynes manual didn't say anything about that stuff nor did any of the how 2 thing I ran across on the web. Are you guys thinking trans fluid? I know it's supposed to be a pain to try and service.
Ps sleepy, I'm diggin the sig

Nope. Mine is a simple, remove 12 bolts, and the pan is in your hands.

Would be cool if it is that easy to take it out.
On the 2.4L, it's a VERY tight squeeze and you have to have the perfect angle to get that pan out from under the car..

Use an engine hanger like this http://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com/...s/LIS58000.jpg. Then drop the subframe a bit and out comes the oil pan.
