I have to remove an oil pan to get a filter out.Would anybody have any RTV recommendation?
thanks

The easiest to source is Permatex brand Ultra Gray. Yamaha sells Yamabond and BMW specs a Three Bond product.

Before you go to all the work to pull the pan, drill three holes in the face of your oil filter wrench, put it on the filter, then drive three self drilling screws (larger diameter is better) through it into the filter. You should now be able to remove the filter.

gentlemen,thank you,
98lee,it's kind of too late,I tried many ways to do that and the filter doesn't have a bottom any longer.
would you know what the lowest temperature RTV could be used/applied?I have unheated garage.

I use this: https://www.permatex.com/products/uncategorized/permatex-motoseal-1-ultimate-gasket-maker-grey/

It's readily available at the local car parts place. You could call Permatex for the minimum application temp.
I live in California so I don't have those worries.
