oiling plumbing/teflon tape useage?
I don't like using Teflon tape on automotive applications. It seems like for any kind of pressure application it doesn't work very well. Although I did wrap the differential drain plug on Gladys with it recently, for me, its use is very limited on vehicles. I've had great success with RTV and Permatex #2. I remember when I worked at the local Chevy dealer in Macon back in the 80s, there was a TSB on the liquid Teflon saying not to use it, that it dried out and leaked. We all already were figuring that out and using RTV. Back then, you had to specify "sensor safe" RTV, because not all of it was compatible with computer sensors and would trip a check engine light. I would try the stuff
@dadsbee said though, because I'm sure it's been reformulated and works well, although I still use the RTV or #2. If
@dadsbee uses it, you better believe it works with the level of restoration work that he does.
