what to use to seal differential cover after changing the fluid?

Oct 05, 2008 2 Replies

I'm planning on changing out the fluid in both the front and rear differentials. The manual doesn't show a drain plug so it looks like I'm going to have to remove the cover to drain the old fluid. Manul call for a silicone sealer on the cover prior to reassembling. What product do you use? pematex formagasket, RTV or something else?



Thanks Steve


Black High-Temperature gasket silicone.

What year Explorer? On my 99, there are drain plugs. Have you looked to see if there are any?
