Hi all, I'll be changing my refreshed engine's break in oil soon and am told to use Loctite 5900 for making the gasket (sparingly). Is this the only acceptable material or can I use something else?

I used permatex this fall when dropped the pan (installed the IMS guardian).
I have had no issues.

Thanks. I sourced some 5900 so hopefully it arrives in time for my "996 upgrade" weekend.
