Differential Gasket Seal and Install Question

[George Hill]

Permatex Ultra Gray, no paper gasket. I've used this method for 15 yrs on 50+ diffs (including one yesterday), they don't leak if done right.

Seems that both methods will work.

I used both, paper gasket and a very thin layer of permatex, been fine for about 20k miles

I used the BMW paper gasket. Zero leaks.

Whenever there's a chance to use an actual gasket instead of permatex/similar, I take. IMO it holds up better and for sure it results in less clean up later.

So, paper only for me-- no leaks.
