part is in - try again tonight

Dealer got one in for me. I did notice the one I had was Febi (Febu?).

At this point a new pan is worth the $ to get the car back on the road. Part of me wants to try the gasket dry again, but I don't want to do this a 4th time (gaskets aren't that cheap), so this attempt (#3) I'll use a thin coat of gasket sealer.

I've seen two people mention ultra black.

This is the product that seems the best "fit" for the application since it is a "sealant":

Ultra black is under the bucket of gasket "maker":

They really need a decision maker wizard based on your application (using a paper gasket > oil pan > etc) as 90% of their products seem to list the oil pan as an application. hmmmmm

Anyway - dropped the pan last night and captured most of the new Mobil-1 in a container. Dropped the pan last night so I wouldn't be fighting drips while installing the new pan and gasket.... ugh.
