Review on πŸ”’ FEL-PRO OS 30708 R Oil Pan Gasket Set: High-quality, Reliable Seal for Enhanced Engine Performance by Joshua Vogel

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not for New Beetle

Totally, totally unnecessary and not really following factory procedures for our 2000 VW Beetle 1.8T. The oil pan goes through the junction between the block and the bolted gearbox, meaning there's a connection there, meaning the gasket doesn't seal it. Proper RTV sealant is the go-to for sealing the oil pan, so skip that part. Yes, yes, yes, I'm also an old-school believer and thought that gaskets were better than sealant, but apparently times have changed and factories are using sealant to fill those complex joints.

Pros
  • DESIGNED FOR IMPROPER SEALING SURFACE - Specifically designed and built for remanufacturing to seal imperfect sealing surfaces
Cons
  • Long wait
