I personally used blue when I did my tranny oil pan. The backs should say ideal uses. The black is for areas in contact with oil (ie. valve covers, oil pan), so out of the two I'd go with red.

I'm not sure that makes sense. Black should work.

Golden rule of RTV!!! Listen up!
Apply it, and let it sit for a while.
Keep testing it for surface tension.
If you touch it, and you get RTV on your finger, it's not ready.
once you touch the RTV and nothing transfers to your finger, but you leave a fingerprint in it, you're ready.

Golden rule for a Toyota: Use Toyota FIPG. Never use aftermarket RTV unless you want an oil leak. We build plenty of engines, and all we use are Toyota FIPG's (OE RTV) best stuff in the world!

100% agreed. Toyota FIPG>any permatex sealant. the fipg is much stickier, thicker, and seals better. i use it instead of RTV on EVERYTHING.
