anyone change gear fluid on an Eaton HO32

Just wondering if anyone has changed the gear oil on an Eaton HO32 differential and if so, what gear oil did you use and is there a retailer that sells the cover gasket or is it just put back on with gasket maker? Thanks so much!

I'm sure LMC has one...try Napa. You can get gear oil there. Lucas 70 or 80 weight should be fine.

It doesn't take any special gear oil, just regular old 75W90 or 80W90 gear oil. You can go with a synthetic if you feel inclined to do so. A good local parts store, such as NAPA should be able to get the gasket for you. I much prefer to use a paper or fiber gasket versus a gasket maker in a tube.
