OXYGEN SENSOR PRECAUTIONS
Some "Form In Place Gasket" (FIPG) compounds emit chemicals which may cause the oxygen sensor to malfunction. Hyundai recommends the use of FIPG compounds which have been formulated to be compatible with oxygen sensor equipped engines such as 3M's T-3 silicone gasketing compound. This is particularly important when using sealing compounds in areas which may come into contact with the engine lubricant. Be sure to read each FIPG compound package and confirm its compatibility with oxygen sensors.
