The guy who did the job before i opened oil pan used kind of orange sealant (looked more flexible than the one i used) with no leaks. On the other hand, manual shop says to not use sealant on the gasket....
Is it better to seal it anyway or should i follow Toyota specs and don't use any sealant? If i use sealant, which one is the best for that kind of job?
Thank you
