Detailed Description

Mahle P28883 is an axle housing cover gasket made from paper material and specified as OEM Standard. It is intended for rear axle housing cover service where the differential cover must seal against the axle housing flange. This makes it a practical choice for maintenance on 1970-1978 Cadillac Eldorado, 1970-1978 Oldsmobile Toronado, and 1974-1975 Cadillac Fleetwood applications listed below. If you are replacing a leaking differential cover gasket on a Cadillac Eldorado or Oldsmobile Toronado, P28883 provides the correct sealing profile for the covered fitments.

This part cross-references FEL-PRO RDS 30094 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Gear oil seepage around the axle housing cover
  • Fluid residue at the differential cover seam
  • Sealing loss after axle service or cover removal
  • Leaks caused by a flattened or damaged original gasket

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly before installation and remove all old gasket material, sealant, and debris. Inspect the axle housing cover and flange for warping, pitting, or damage before assembly. Follow the vehicle service procedure for torque sequence and fastener tightening to help achieve an even seal.
