Hi all. For those who have just replaced the lower oil pan section with new RTV. Did you torque those bolts to 105 in/lbs like the uppers?

Great. That's what I did. It's odd though. When I removed and pry'd off the lower oil pan there was only a thin amount of rtv as if they are either over torque from the factory or only use a thin amount of rtv. Non the less. I used ultra black permatex. Is that what everyone else has used in the past.
