Short OCI flush after oil pan gasket change?

[himemsys]

Just had the oil pan re-gasketed with RTV as well as changed the crank seal. I'm guessing the RTV will affect silicon levels on a UOA. Would you do one or two short OCI to flush the sealers out of the system? Just curious what others think about this.

When I regasketed the oil pan on my old RAV4 I didn't do anything extra with the oil changes. Kept on with my regular OCI.

Dirt from the engine being open and sloppy care in the procedure would be the need for an oil change the SI from the sealant would not be a concern in itself.

Treat it as if it is a new vehicle and change the oil/filter as you would a new engine that was just put together by the MFG.

I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe change the filter early if you're worried about debris in the engine.

I would proceed w your regular oci

it doesn´t mean that is same like sand from bad airfilter..
anyway, there is sucking screen, and oil filter to catch any pieces coming loose.
