Does anyone make a better oil pan gasket for the 300/6 ford in a '95 f150?

A mechanic said that that fords were awful for that and that the rubber ones were terrible about leaking,my 95 f150 has a bad leak and its gonna run about $275 just for labor.Does anyone make a better oil pan gasket for the 300/6 ford in a '95 f150?
Fel-Pro makes the best aftermarket that I have found. It is fitted and grommetted.Does anyone make a better oil pan gasket for the 300/6 ford in a '95 f150?
Use Blue RTV and throw gaskets away. I never use them and RTV never leaks. Replace your PCV valve its bad. Report Abuse

EVERYBODY KNOCKS THE FORD...YES,EVEN YER FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANICS. THEBETTER OF THE TWO (CORK AND RUBBER) THEY BOTH DETERIORATE,BUT ASSEMBELING THEM I'D GO WITH THE CORK.THEY HOLD THE GASKET-MAKING BETTER.
Buy the Ford replacement gasket. they are 1 piece rubber gaskets that you can install yourself..the oil pan does NOT need to be completely removed. just unbolt motor mount bolts,use floor jack and wood block under crank pulley to lift enough to place small 2%26gt;4 blocks between mount and frame,unbolt pan, lower enough to remove old gasket,it is also 1 piece rubber,then CAREFULLY install new gasket,, you must reach in pan to work gasket AROUND oil pump Pickup tube and screen,then bolt up. save the 275
Ford re-designed their oil pan gaskets, I would check at a Ford dealer
