Default Tin Indian Oil Filter Bracket Teflon Gasket Question

Has anyone used the subject Teflon gasket, it states it can be reused ?

I was wondering if sealant is still needed with this gasket or you can reuse it without anything else.

And what torque do use for this type of gasket?

Thanks Bob,

I have not used that gasket, but have used the Teflon timing cover gasket. Worked well with no sealant.
I would just install and tighten to factory specs with no sealer, just like the regular gasket

Thank you for your input,

I planned on using Ultra black on the side that mates to the bracket but nothing on the surface that mates to the block.

On my drag car it's easier to remove the three bolts at the bracket and then replace the filter on the work bench.
