When you install the oil fill neck do you use any sealant or just a light coat of oil so it slips in?

oil for me

That's all I've ever used. I've been known to expand the tube a bit beforehand though so it's a real tight fit.

I did give it a lick of silicone on the tube before pushing it in.

I'm with bison. If it was new I prolly would just put some oil on it, but on my old dry rotted/shrunk ones I give it a thin coat of formagasket.

If the rubber grommet is soft and plyable, I just lube the filler tube and slide it in.
If the grommet is getting a tad on the hard side then I clean it good with BrakeKleen and use a bit of RTV on the pipe.
Judgement call all the way me thinks.

I use a little white lube on the rubber seal. If the rubber seal is old, you can get a new one at the dealer for a few dollars.
