While the title of the article is oil pan gasket replacement it is a bit of a misnomer. There is actually no gasket between the pan and engine but a small bead of sealant. If your pan is leaking or you have to remove it to replace the oil level sending unit you will need to clean the mounting surfaces really well and then use a good high quality sealant. I recommend Drei Bond 1209. I have used this for years with great results, and it is available at Pelican Parts. Make sure to carefully follow the instructions on the sealant you choose to use and allow it to dry and seal completely. Also you do not need to use a lot of sealant. All the extra will do is squeeze out and make a mess outside and inside the cover.
You are going to need to drain and refill the oil from the motor. If you are close to needing an oil and filter change, now is a good time to change the filter as well. Get the engine warm before draining the oil.
