I believe that if a gasket is employed, then the need for gasket seal in a tube is gone, however, your gasket should be torqued to manufacturer's specifications. Yet, it doesn't hurt to have both.

How do you install an oil pan gasket for the 1994 Honda Accord EX?

First raise your cars front-end and securely it. Unplug and drain your oil out of the pan. Than just remove the bolts holding that pan in and sometimes you need to just a rubber mallet just gently knock the pan off ,for the gasket stick to it after awhile. And remember to clean off the old gasket off the pan and engine and replace. (NOTE- I am not sure if your suppose to just a sealant on the gasket or not,sorry)
