In some videos people use gaskets, in some videos people use sealent.

I know that from the factory they use sealent but is there a reason to use or not use a gasket? It seems like the gasket is cleaner and easier to install.

Also in some videos they say the oil pan can’t be removed without taking apart the exhaust. In some videos they say you can wiggle it out.

Thank you,

And i would appreciate any advice you have regarding this repair.
