I am not aware of a pan gasket . Look at the link below and scroll down to " compatibility " . Notice that each model year has a note stating sealant is needed ? The pan has a flat mating surface and so does the engine block . You apply a thin coat of sealant on the sump plate and install . That is what seals the two mating surfaces. The only gasket is the aluminum ring for the drain plug .
