    There is a sealant tape made specifically for petroleum products. It's yellow and I find it at the big box stores. I use that and haven't a leak in 11,000 miles.

    Like all thread tape, it's very dependent on proper application. Wrap direction, tension etc.

    Oh yes! I can see this on the oil relocation kit. Some connections are just fine and others leak for no reason.
