Oil Pan Gasket

Hi,

My GP is leaking a couple drops of oil and I need to replace the oil pan gasket.

Looks like an easy job....

But, what is the difference in a $69 gasket and a $17 one?

Are they upgraded due to known issues with the factory ones?

Thanks,

the obvious answer is price... :wink:

One is probably made in China the other somewhere close to China. Other than that not sure.

Yes the cheap ones are made in china even if it's a known brand as they now have a factory in china and the quality just isn't there.
