Parts number for rear diff oil?
Can anybody confirm this is the correct parts number for replacing my
rear-axle differential oil?
A001 989 330 312
Do I need a new copper gasket or something on the plug?
Doing an oil change on the engine needs a new copper gasket on the bolt.
So is it the same with rear axle diff?
Or I only screw back the bolt after the oil change?
Thanx

It is good practice to put a new copper gasket after every oil change. Costs only peanuts for the copper ring but aimed at avoiding drips and other possible leaks. I always put a high quality hypo oil in all my diffs. Never ever had a problem

Isn't this a standard procedure?
Drain the diff, fill up with new oil put the gasket on the bolt, screw it back, then rock 'n' roll finito!
I was looking for the parts number for rear diff oil.
Isn't there a parts number thread on this forum?
