Replace Green Loctite or use FPIG on Oilpan Bolts?

[improved]

Hello gentlemen,

I'm in the middle of replacing the oil pan gasket on my 1J. I see green loctite on the oil pan bolts. I've never seen this before. Usually, on my 7m, the bolts have been covered with FPIG.

Should I replace the green Loctite or can I use FPIG?

Thanks,

I've been using the gray permatex a lot. It's high heat and stuff.

I noticed the loctite also when I did mine. I just went with FIPG-black and its all ok. That stuff is amaizing, I even use it instead of exhaust gaskets. After the turbos of course.

i saw it i thought it was just corrosion of some type.. as it wasnt on all of the bolts..
buy new (small) bolts though if you plan on torquing them all of mine broke when i tried to torque the old ones hehe

I finished cleaning all of the small bolts, they look fine. There doesn't seem to be any visual signs of stress in the metal. I think they will be fine for the 6.5lbs of torque.
