Question What Sealant should I use? (C5 A6 3.0 valve cover gasket)

I am planning to replace the valve cover gaskets on the my 2002 A6 3.0.

I am totally unsure of what sealant is required and where to apply it?

*There is a lot of scattered content on this topic, I just wanted to get some kind of straight forward recommendations.

None. Just a little black RTV in the corners. The valve cover gasket is compounded to work best with no sealant.

A little black (as stated above) or blue RTV should be fine.
