I am replaceing my oil pan gasket, and I want to use some RTV on the front and back so it wont leak again. All I have is black RTV. but when I took the old gasket off, it had orange RTV on it. Would black work? what is the difference?

Re: what do the difference between the RTV colors?
black will work fine
in general, black/blue is engine oil resistant, grey is gear oil resistant, orange/red is higher temp, copper is highest temp, not all RTV is made equal though, so read the package for the qualities of the enclosed product

Re: what do the difference between the RTV colors?
the grey is the best the black turns to rubber and will failmsooner . i work for a chevy dealershep and that is mostly what we use . been down that block before . gm dealership gray the new kind they switched due to failure of the other or lioght grey permatex is the best ive seen as far as longevity.
