I have a 2000 civic ex and I have an oil leak by the oil pan. Now my question is when I Google "oil pan gasket" I get 2 different pictures. One of a flat gasket with holes for the screw and a tube like gasket with no holes. Which one do I use? I'm stuck because advance auto parts sold me the tube like gasket and they swear up and down that it right but I have a feeling it's not. I don't know how to install the tube like gasket if they're right. Thanks for the help.

 

I got an OEM one and it had the holes I'd trust that before the non hole'd one, nothing wrong with felpro tho I've used their stuff on my car.

 

Look at your oil pan, if it's clean aluminum you need the tube style. If it's painted black you need the flat one with holes. I would also only get it from Honda or World Pac.

 

But have you or know anyone that has used the tube like one before?

 

I haven't even tried replacing it yet because I don't want to do all the work for nothing.

 

Just stick your head under the car and see what you have. You don't need to pull it off first.

 

This takes the tube gasket


This takes the flat gasket
