Pontiac G6 oil pan gasket replacement, great hack how to save 4 hours!

[@Martin_Speed]

Thx, for reminding me to do this. My 05 GT doesn't even have a brace bracket there it's just in the way for no reason, thank GM engineers.

Incredible video. This is the one thing I’ve been needing to fix to make it drivable again. Thank you man!!!

@@flyinbrian5437 don’t go as stupidly nuts with the rtv that I did. I used the wrong color and to much. I redid it about three weeks later using black rtv and only put it in the corners.

​@@whatsnextgarage Permatex Ultra Black or Optimum Max Flex are top tier.

Let it set for an hour then torque it down done a few oil pans that way where rtv was the gasket

[@whatsnextgarage]

I’m doing it again in two weeks. I’ll do that for sure! Thanks bud!

what happens if i ran over a bump and the bracket broke the oil starts leaking out where the bracket is what is a fix

[@whatsnextgarage]

With that impact I would imagine the pan is cracked.

@@whatsnextgarage thanks I'm glad u made the video very helpful so I just follow the steps in video and get a new oil pan

[@whatsnextgarage]

@@unknown-os5wp yes. I have a long form video that goes through all the steps.
