Ultra Black was thick enough to hold the gasket. No need for tie wraps. Do a couple of trial fits first before applying RTV.
For the oil level sensor gasket I used Ajusa 16078850. See my OPG link above.
I would change out the oil pickup tube o-ring and mounting bolts with the pan off, as mentioned in my post. I was going to RTV it shut but a spring housing protrusion would have created a smearing mess, so I left it. I should have bought the o-ring and bolts in retrospect.

I hope to apply a very thin layer, so it does not push over onto the rubber sealing part of the gasket when squeezed together.
I looked at the pickup tube, but is there any reason to replace that o-ring? It's already immersed in oil pan, correct? Where would that o-ring failure show up?
