Oil Pump Gasket And Oil Pump Bolts

[Cambridge]

I plan to take off the oil pan on my 95 540i tomorrow. Now that the car has passed the 100K mile mark, figured I better check the oil pump bolts that famously loosen and fall out.

A couple questions:

1) When I put in the new oil pan gasket (BMW #11 13 1 436 324) is there anything I’m supposed to coat it with? Or do I put it on as is?

2) Which color Loctite should I put on the oil pump bolts to lock them in? Is blue ok? Or should I use red?

3) To what value should I torque the bolts to?

Thanks for your help!

oil pump cover 10 Nm
Sprocket to oil pump 10 Nm
oil pan to engine block 10 Nm....(for M6s)
Oil sump lower to upper section 10 Nm...all tens!
