Default Diff oil for S60 and gasket question

Don't want to use Lucas oil anymore so any opinions as to what brand for my S60?
Also, does this rear use a reusable gasket OR do I need to buy a new one? Rtv? (it looks like the stock gasket is paper and they used rtv also)
Thanks

Check that torque... Strange says 35lb/ft for bolts... and darn it why can't they use a reusable gasket... Next time I change fluid I will spend the $20 or so on the reusable one... such a pain in the neck cleaning the paper gasket and RTV off of all surfaces... arghhh!
Sorry for the rant...
