Help tapping an oil pan

@Vovchandr

My Miata oilpan is also aluminum.

You shouldn’t need Teflon if you tape it with a tap that’s made for pipe fittings.

I have no leaks with mine in tests but it hasn’t been on the road yet.

Some use JB weld around the Barb fitting.

You will have a leak. Mark my words.

Teflon should always be used with NPT style fittings.
