Correct. Pull the pan, scrape, clean with solvent/brake parts cleaner, run a bead around the pan then smear it as wide as the pan mating surface flange around all the bolt holes so its nice and even all around, then reinstall and torque correctly. Permatex black RTV is what I use personally, or Permatex makes stuff called "The Right Stuff" which is great also and I use it often.

I went with the FSM. Used both gasket and sealer and no leaks.
I got mine from Advanced Auto Parts. I just checked for an -SE, but they don't have them. Weird.
They have them for 12A's for $12.
Just checked AutoZone and they don't either. Interesting. Same with NAPA.
Atkins has them for $35.
MazdaTrix has them for $40.03

Not to flame, but the FSM says to do it and every engine builder typically does - they clean both surfaces - apply a bead to both surfaces, and still use an OEM gasket. This is the best way to do it and it allows a good deal of flexability to salvage the pan w/o having to replace it. Because - after many years of owners/mechanics not torquing the pan bolts to spec, the pan gets warped. Many people think - oh, its leaking - lets tighten the hell outta the bolts to make it stop. This is counter intuitative and can cause more leaks......

International makes this gray silicone that is so brutally evil that you basically ruin the oil pan removing it. It will literally never leak, and will hold an oil pan with 20 quarts of oil on the engine without bolts once its dry.
If they had not made such a stupid design for the 444 (7.3 Ford) oil pan dipstick then it would be the perfect oil pan. I use it on my engine on parts I dont want to ever leak, I am sure you can get it just about any big truck shop in town for the price of regular RTV.
Mercedes-Benz black silicone is also great for stuff you do want to remove, but its pricey.

One more tip, get some ready rod or longer bolts. Cut the heads off the bolts (or cut the ready rod) and get matching nuts. Use 4 or 6 of these in place of the factory bolts to save the bother of lining things up and having the silicon slip and slide as you put the bolts in. Just apply the silicone, slide it up the studs, hold in place and put your 4 nuts on and then do the rest.
Important, let it sit at least over night for the silicone to set before putting oil in the engine.
