Default Removing the oil pan question

Is there an oil pan gasket... if there is, I am assuming it needs to be replaced upon reinstalling the oil pan right?
Thanks

I use Honda Bond. You can buy it through your Honda dealer.

There is no gasket to begin with, just the sealant from the factory (HondaBond is sorta like "form a gasket", like what I used). Make sure you get a gasket scraper and clean off both surfaces before re-installing.

Use Honda Bond or any "Grey" RTV - they are designed to adhere to aluminum.

You can ask for help, or just find it yourself in the sealants area. This is not rocket science. Even the pep boys neanderthals will not bungle this.
