also if you went this route, after draining the oil it takes like 5 mins. to get the pan off, then you clean it off, scrape the silicone from it and the engine, rub new stuff on with ur finger and bolt it back up. There aren't that many gaskets on these cars as a lot of things are just sealed with grey permatex rtv silicone. i keep a caulk gun full of the stuff in my garage now.
Go read the service manual and see what they recommend for the time required for the RTV sealant to cure before starting the engine.
