So many gaskets... Which to choose?
My lower oil pan gasket is leaking. 2003 C5 Z06.
There are a lot of choices for replacements; AC Delco OEM, Fel Pro, Mahle, what have you found was the best choice? I run 40 - 70 psi oil.
Thank you!
Jeff

I've used Mahle and OEM. My opinion, they're both equally as good and same thicknesss (around 0.050") . Wouldn't be surprised if OEM is actually just made by Mahle, which I think it's the case.
Edit: Misread and I thought you were talking about cylinder head gaskets. My answer is still the same. I've had good experience with Mahle and OEM for MLS style gaskets.
