Trying to replace my oil pan gasket and getting a little confused because autozone has two very different shaped ones listed. My Mini engine is N12, its an R56 2008 coop with sport mode.

Anyone here know for certain which gasket shape i get?

 

these are the two shapes

 

VIN Info

 

I went to ecs tuning and put your car in (it's a base and not the s correct?) As base, and it shows a gasket the looks identical to AutoZone os30820 gasket.

 

yep, the base, thanks a lot mate

 

I'm not sure if the pic you posted was from Autozone's website, It just looked like it when I glanced at it. Either way the gasket looks like the gasket in your pic with os30820 part number.

 

N14 doesn't use a gasket anymore, it was switched to "gasket-in-a-tube". Maybe the same will work for the N12?

 

I used this, the last time I had the oil pan off on my N14.

 

Yes its here:

MINI went with a sealant (83190404517) for all the N12, N14, N16, and N18 engine oil pans. But some people like and prefer the normal gasket. (11137565928)
