oilpan gasget

I got myself a new 1pc rubber oilpan gasget.
Should I install it dry or use RTV somewhere?
Any tips?

Thanks

If you got a thick one piece "gasket", install it but with only dabs if rtv on the corners to prevent leaking and a tiny amount on the block.

I just installed my one piece gasket yesterday, I put a dab of gasket eliminator in the corners on the block then installed the gasket, then a small dab on the gasket in the corners then sat the pan on.....

I've used the felpro one piece gaskets on two cars and so far I've had really good luck with installing them without any rtv.
