First off I did do a search.. and did not find the answer... So here goes.

I am going to replace my Engine Oil Pan after some Slippery Change Grease Monkey f'd up the pan. What is the correct bolt tightening sequence and torque spec? (A drawing would be nice)

And to add to this... Evidently Nissan decided it could save a buck by not having a gasket? OK then I will use Permatex 82180 Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker.

Thanks! ;)

The lower oil pan uses a RTV seal. Torque spec is not super critical, just use a good amount of the sealer (not too much either) and dont break any bolts. The spec is 61 inch lbs for the oil pan.
