Better change it to an OEM again, that's what I would do. ;)

If I recall, there is metal gasket and aluminum pan. I would recommend using mopar gasket maker (reddish paste in a black-and-white tube), or honda-bond. They both work awesome, I'd say better than silicone (for this application, at least).
