Honda NSX/95-97 Accord V6 Oil Pan Gasket 11251-P0G-A00

Honda NSX/95-97 Accord V6 Oil Pan Gasket - 11251-P0G-A00

Got oil spots on your driveway under your NSX or Accord V6? Your oil pan gasket's done. The Honda oil pan gasket (part number 11251-P0G-A00) seals your oil pan to the bottom of your engine block. When the gasket gets old from heat cycles and sitting in oil, the rubber gets hard and it cracks. Once it's cracked, oil seeps past the gasket and drips onto the ground. You'll see fresh oil spots where you park or you'll notice you're topping off oil between changes. Replace your oil pan gasket if it's leaking or if you're pulling the pan for any reason.

Here's Why Oil Pan Gaskets Fail

Your oil pan gasket sits between your oil pan and your engine block where it's getting cooked from underneath. It seals the connection so oil stays inside your engine. When the gasket's been heat-cycled for 10-20 years and soaking in hot oil, the rubber hardens up and it gets brittle. Once the rubber's hard, it doesn't conform to the surfaces anymore. Oil finds the gaps and it leaks out at the oil pan flange. You'll see oil dripping from the pan or you'll find puddles under your car after it sits overnight. If the leak's progressed far enough, you're losing enough oil that you need to top it off before your next oil change.

Flexible Rubber - Not Cork or Paper

This gasket's made from flexible rubber. It's not the old cork or paper gaskets that some engines use. The rubber conforms to your oil pan and block surfaces when you torque the bolts down. It compresses and it fills the imperfections in the mating surfaces. That's how it seals. Rubber holds up way better than cork against heat and oil over time.

Don't Reuse Oil Pan Gaskets

Whenever you're dropping your oil pan for engine work, oil pump service, or you're chasing down a knock, replace this gasket. It's a few bucks and your pan's already off. Don't try reusing an old gasket that's been compressed against your block for years. It's already taken a set and it won't seal when you bolt the pan back on. You'll end up with a slow drip that turns into a steady leak, and then you're dropping the pan all over again to put in the gasket you should've installed the first time. Save yourself the headache.

Note: Replace this gasket every time you pull your oil pan. Don't reuse old gaskets - they've been compressed for years and they won't seal. When you're installing the new gasket, make sure it's seated properly in the oil pan groove all the way around. If it's kinked or folded anywhere, it won't seal and you'll be chasing a leak. Clean all the old gasket residue off your block and pan with a scraper and some brake cleaner. If there's crud stuck to the mating surfaces, your new gasket won't have a clean surface to seal against. Torque your oil pan bolts to spec in a crisscross pattern from the center out. Don't just go around the perimeter tightening bolts or you'll warp the pan and create leaks.
