Default Sealing Transmission Bottom Pan

Do you use the gooey pink toyota gasket stuff or just a plain gasket when replacing the bottom pan on your transmission? I've seen it both ways but the Lexus dealer says they use the pink gooey toothpaste consistency stuff when replacing the bottom pan.

it's normally a 3-5mm bead of FIPG. don't use too much or else it'll end up inside the transmission. find the correct torque on these also.
