Can anyone identify the generic aftermarket name for GM's J 36850 assembly fluid? What exactly is it?

GM cannot identify that particular part. What do you need it for?

The website Alldata.com claims that it is applied to the Automatic Transmission oil pan gasket during reassembly (Silverado). Anti-seize?

Just clean the gasket with solvent,dry and reinstall....torque to 10ft/lbs.

If the pan is equipped with a drain plug, put a little Loc-tite on the trheads.

What type of Loctite do you recommend?

Medium strength...the blue stuff.

Thanks very much for the help.:bigthumb:
