Premix at the pump

I know, I know, I've been putting off getting the oil pan gasket fixed.

I'll have to put it off a little longer. We're going to get slammed with over a foot of snow all this weekend, so I won't be able to get it to the shop.

Heh, alright then. Had me a bit worried.

You can just use black RTV and not have to worry about a gasket. Hell, my new Mazda 6 didn't come with a gasket from the factory, just RTV.
