nicksubaru Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Would it be ok to use auto parts store brand gaskets and seals for stuff like oil pan, rear main seal, the little gasket things the cover the piston retainer clip things, or should i just order subaru brand only for these harder to reach gaskets?

GeneralDisorder Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Absolutely not. Subaru only on all that. Oil pan is glued on. Get the current three bond from the Nissan dealer. You will also need a weird small caulking gun made by Permatex. Local parts houses should be able to get them for about $5.

nicksubaru Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 When you say three bond are you talking about this part number? Nissan Part No.: 999MP1217HP THREEBOND 1217H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Yes the 1217H. It is 1/3 the price from Nissan. Same stuff Subaru uses now. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06SubLegTx Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thank you for the fast reply. I had a hard time finding reviews for there brand gaskets. I just used the 1217H on my pan works awesome. I got this from amazon it worked great on these small tubes... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HBGHCW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Just attached for future reference. A former Subaru mech I used loved that (expensive) Right Stuff....Nissan 3-bond is a better deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golucky66 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I like the right stuff only because you can put it on like an oil pan. You can immediately fill it with oil and drive it. No waiting an hour or more to drive the car. (not sure if that's how the Nissan 3 bond works or not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 There is no waiting time for the three bond. It is ATF rated as well. The Subaru pink stuff has been discontinued. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
