I have a tube of the Permatex Gear Oil RTV. There is a round EGR tube that feeds into the intake. The hot tube is about 1/2 in dia and there is a insulating pipe of about 1.5" that contacts the intake with a doughnut gasket.
Factory had some RTV on the base of the gasket. I'm installing a new gasket, the service manual does not specify to put RTV but I think I'll do it.
Hate keeping around tubes of RTV, since they have a shelf life and harden after 2 or so years, and would rather not make a parts store run.
Wondering if the gear oil rtv can be used on an intake? Or is it better to bite the bullet and use the black. I know some RTVs have silicon that can attack sensors.
