CAUTION

At the time of factory shipment or when the engine is overhauled, liquid gasket is used for the engine 
oil pan gasket. Use the replacement engine oil pan gasket since the sealed surface may interfere with 
surrounding parts, causing oil leak when the engine oil pan is installed on the vehicle using the liquid 
gasket.
