This gasket is much better than others, thinner and the holes are much smaller so you can make sure the gasket doesn't move while you bolt the oil pan on. on the. The only thing to take your time is putting it on all the bolts until it's flush with the oil pan and doing many rounds of bolt tightening to make sure you don't fold it. or stretch. Doesn't leak and works way better than the silicone that the jerks at AAMCO used. Trust me, the few extra bucks are worth your time.
