## NHTSA's summary

Service \- Four Piece Oil Pan Gasket All Cummins Equipped Vehicles ONLY \- The replacement oil pan gasket can be a four piece gasket rather than a single piece gasket. This applies to Cummins 5.9L and 6.7L engines only. Installation: 1. Clean the oil pan T\-joints.\~ 2. Fill the T\-joint between the pan rail/gear housing and pan rail/rear seal retainer with sealant. Use Mopar® Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant or equivalent. 3. Apply a 2\-mm \[0.063\-in\] bead of Mopar Engine Sealant RTV Silicone Rubber Adhesive, to the oil pan flange.\~ 4. The four piece gasket will need to be assembled to make a complete oil pan gasket. 5. Lay the oil pan gasket\(s\) onto the oil pan flange.\~ 6. Ensure the oil pan gasket segment joints are properly aligned. 7. Apply a 2\-mm \[0.063\-in\] bead of Mopar Engine Sealant RTV Silicone Rubber Adhesive, to the top of the oil pan gasket.\~ 8. Install the oil pan. Starting from the center and working outward, tighten the oil pan bolts to 28 N·m \[21 ft. lbs.\].
