Oil Pan Gasket Extras
So i went to get a new oil pan gasket today. I got a Fel Pro Perma Seal and it came with some extras. Pictured below are some o rings and some paper gaskets that came with it. Just wondering what they are for? Also i hear i should not use RTV on this gasket. Is this true? Thanks

Thanks guys!
BW Hunter, ive heard about putting it there on the corners of the rear main and the timing cover because they apparently leak there often. Thanks for the tip.
So i took all the RTV i had on the pan off... Dont ask long story. Anyways i lost a bit of the paint on the seal area aswel. Is this going to cause any issues? I was told no and that i could spray some paint on any paintless surface of the pan once its mounted to the motor to prevent rust. But the unpainted area around the gasket will be fine. Do you guys agree?
