Hey all!

So was going to do an oil change on our 2012 P4. Got under and removed the covers, and found a leak. Noticed at some point the pan was dented a bit.

Got it all sorted and pan is back to its birth shape, but my local parts shops say I don't need a gasket (the computer doesn't list one), and to just use Grey RTV gasket maker.

I know there is a part number, but it comes up as the entire pan. Can I just use the grey rtv as suggested? I've done the oil pan on our 911 C4 and used the RTV gasket stuff with no issues. Just want to verify.

Thanks in advance!

You do have an "O-ring" gasket. Porsche probably requires a new o-ring every time the pan is dropped, simply because o-rings do tend to compress.
My experience with other makes has been to re-use o-rings with a "smear" of rtv. I remove the o-ring and do a very light smear over the entire o-ring. I do the same with the flat bonding surface outside of the o-ring.

 

Hey Kirkman. I have a new o-ring for the oil plug, but nothing for the pan itself. Was hoping to add RTV to the little gasket there in the channel in the pic and bolt it up!

 

946 107 275 21 possibly?

Couldn't tell exactly what V6 but seems like same gasket for the two I checked....

 

You actually need to get the oil an gasket as the sealant itself wont work for long.... The P/N(assuming v8) is Part#

however, if you want extra reinforcement, add the high temp silicon(thin layer) before you install

 

Actually, its the V6. I am searching now that I know there IS in fact an o ring... lol Thanks!

 

And looks like that is the same number. Thanks again!

 

Here's how the V8 one looks. Just arrived today. Probably very similar for the V6.

 

Thats it! Got it installed and drip free, so it was all worth it! Thanks guys!
