Default AN Sealing on pipe thread adapters

I ran som AN lines for oil and powersteering to an oil cooler. What product would you recomend using to seal the pipe thread adapters. Obviously teflon tape and oil dont have a long happy life together. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Locktight brand sells a pipe thread sealer that would perfect for your needs. Not sure of the name off hand ,but a quick search of their site would find it.
