2G Thread sealer

MasterMatt209 · Jan 2, 2019

I’m going to feed from the oil filter housing, for the threads is there a special thread sealer I should use? I don’t thing my local auto stores have anything that say it’s for that specific use. Teflon tape or is there a more proper product?

You should use a good pipe thread sealant or pipe dope, it'll set soft yet seal good and stay somewhat pliable! I would only use it on the fitting adapter going into the oil filter housing. I never used anything on my actual oil feel or my braided coolant lines and never had a leak from them.

So I would find that in the plumbing section at Lowe’s or Walmart? I will only be using it at the oil filter housing everything else will be bare

Yep I got mine at Lowe's but I would assume Walmart got it or something close. Just make sure it says metal cause I believe some are for only plastic.

I use loctite 592 thread sealant. Work great!!
I've used it on fuel fitting, and oil fitting without any issues.
And it smells good too.
