WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Ford Pickup and 2011 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: If not secured within 6 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface prep and silicone gasket remover. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 5 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
