Reusable rubber gasket surface.

Be very carefull with it and make sure it is clean before you reasemble everything.

diff fluid change

I've changed my fluid twice already and it's easy. Take out all the bolts and drain old fluid into a large container. Wipe out the inside of the housing, clean the cover and gasket and the surface where the gasket seals. Tighten bolts and add about 3.8 liters of fluid. The dealer wants $31 / liter .I buy mine at Canadian Tire for $ 9.99 / liter. It's a motormaster oil that is made by Shell.

The gaskets are reusable. As said above ,just clean both surfaces and reinstall the cover with the factory gasket. The fluid used is synthetic.
