How many thermostat gaskets or O rings are required on a 2012 MKZ 3.5 liter engine?

Want to replace a thermostat on a 2012 MKZ with a 3.5 liter engine. Some sites show 2 gaskets required. Is that correct?
Have replaced many thermostats in Ford, GM, and Chrysler vehicles and have never seen one requiring more than 1 gasket.

If 2 are required where exactly do they go?

Don't want to drain coolant and open up the thermostat housing and be short a gasket.

I don’t have the answer - but if you buy the parts at your local Ford or Lincoln dealer, using your VIN, you will be assured of getting the right answer and parts.
