What high temp RTV should I use for differential drain plug on my 2014 Touareg TDI DIESEL
Loctite 567 is a thread sealant.I wouldn't use loctite. You may want to easily remove it someday. I would use a thin layer of permatex 2.

It also used the same way as Xerox, Kleenex and Band-Aid means a copy, tissue or a bandage.Loctite is a brand.
But I wasn't using the word colloquially. I recommended a specific product and some know-it-all immediately chimed in with "hur dur don't use Loctite it make bolt stuck." That same genius recommended Permatex No. 2, which is a gasket maker. So I felt the need to make the correction.It also used the same way as Xerox, Kleenex and Band-Aid means a copy, tissue or a bandage.
The differentials in the topic car have drain and fill plugs with o-rings. Not "or a crush washer." They should be lubed when installed, not dry.Ideally, those drain/fill plugs are installed dry with a new O-ring or crush washer.
