I am about to take the oil pans off but before i do that i wanted to make sure i have the parts/gaskets in my hands. I dont see them available anywhere at the OEM parts source. Any ideas?
Is there no gasket in the lower and upper oil pan?

Also, 00295-01281 is for the transmission oil pan.
Oddly, 00295-00103 is listed as discontinued on several online Lexus and Toyota dealer pages. I just spoke with the local dealership here, and they told me they not only have 9 in stock, but have 13 more currently on order. It ships directly from the manufacturer, in a Toyota labeled box and tube.
The manual lists Three Bond as equivalent.

Not much too add to the above posts.
Used properly, works great.
Can't have surfaces too clean before application.
^^^This^^^ all the above.
After cleaning the bulk of the grime, grease, oil, and old sealant off both mating surfaces last step is to use pure Acetone on a clean/new cloth rag or paper towels, then repeat, before applying the sealant (study the FSM for how much and where to place it).
If you pay attention to detail the job will last a very long time IME.
FWIW

There is a square O-ring that you will need to order that goes in the upper pan. Other than that it’s FIPG
I am doing this coming week the same work befor my departure the Sonora/ Baja on October . I can not find the SEALER anywhere and I need to do this this week. Can I use any other sealent???

It may cost a bit more but @nashqadri , you can walk into your local Toyota dealer (parts dept) to buy a tube of the factory recommended Toyota Seal Packing 103 (check the expiration date). Or if you prefer go into any Honda dealer for Hondabond HT or Yamaha Dealer for Yamabond 4. There may be some differences between the formulations (all made by Three Bond). Some people prefer Permatex UltraBlack or The Right Stuff, everyone has their own favorite.

Substitutes for Toyota black and red sealants?
Righto I'm aware there are two main sealants toyota uses with 80's - there's a black one that is described as 'FIPG' which I think is an oil-rated RTV silicone, and there's a red one which is an anerobic sealant much like Loctie 518. I've used 518 before with Saab engines but tend to avoid...

Just a note, when taking the upper pan off you need to disconnect the oil level sensor wire and crank case position sensor wire. Unbolt the trans lines of the side of the pan. Unbolt the dip stick on the intake plenum. Take out starter. Unbolt the trans from the upper pan. Loosen the motor mount on top and bottom all the way but leave the nuts on. remove lower pan and remove the bolts and two front nuts I Leave a nut on the front stud and a bolt hand tight when prying so the pan does not fall. Don’t forget about the 3 bolts under the lower oil pan. Remove the sway bar and front drive shaft. Trust me you want to do this step. Jack the front of the engine a couple inches either with a floor Jack on the harmonic balancer (not preferred because it blocks the two nuts in the timing cover that hood the front of the pan. or with a hoist from the front engine lift point. there are two pry points in the rear on each side you can shove a large flat head in and pry it will be very hard to break that initial seal. If you have two people it will make your life much easier on install. That pan is almost 3 feet long and the clearance is tight don’t want to smear the new FIPG!! Good luck not a fun job.
I just placed the order...lol. Also how do you remove the oil pan without damaging the alluminum
So bottom pan ( which is were I have a Leak ) just unbolt and pan drops OFF?

If there is a harder way - I will find it...
If you do this, do not forget to take off the top of the air cleaner so you don't rip the air intake hose as well. Radiator fan shroud also needs to be removed.

The lower oil pan is pretty straightforward, take the bolts and nuts off. I use a flat paint scraper and pound it around the whole pan breaking the old seal it will take some some effort. Avoid prying with a large screwdriver or pry bar as you will bend the pan. You can definitely wedge a screw driver in after you get a little bit loose.

...or you could use this nifty SST:
...from the service manual
which would impress me a lot more if it was, oh say, 10 times larger than it is! You can literally hide this thing in your hand and have room to spare. A replacement, in the the correct size, IMO, is on my to do list for a rainy day.

Wait until I make one large enough to actually use. I'll send you one.
Just wondering if you checked your valve cover gasket in the back?
