The OMIX-ADA 16502.01 is a replacement differential cover gasket built for Dana 25, Dana 27, and Dana 30 front axles. It serves owners of vintage flat-fender Jeeps through later TJ and LJ Wranglers who need a clean seal between the differential housing and cover. The gasket cross-references OE part number 8120360, so it drops in where the factory seal once sat. If you're chasing a slow gear-oil weep at the front diff or buttoning up after a fluid change, this is the part that keeps lubricant where it belongs.

This gasket is made of rubber in OE style and sold individually, per manufacturer specifications. The fitment list spans the 1941-45 MB and military variants, 1946-49 CJ2A, 1949-53 CJ3A, 1953-68 CJ3B, 1950-52 M38, 1955-83 CJ5, 1955-75 CJ6, 1976-86 CJ7, 1981-86 CJ8 Scrambler, 1981-01 Cherokee XJ, 1987-92 Comanche MJ, 1987-95 Wrangler YJ, 1997-06 Wrangler TJ, and 2004-06 Wrangler Unlimited LJ, all running a Dana 25, 27, or 30 front differential. The rubber construction conforms to the cover face for a repeatable seal without aggressive torque, and it carries a 5-year limited warranty. Cross-reference OE 8120360 confirms direct compatibility with the original sealing surface.
Reach for this gasket any time you pull the front differential cover to inspect gears, check backlash, or service the front axle on an older Jeep. It pairs naturally with a fluid drain and refill, and many shops replace it as routine insurance against a leak rather than reusing an aged seal. Keep one on the shelf if you run a CJ, XJ, or early Wrangler on trails where the front axle takes abuse. For matching driveline seals, see our pinion seals and axle seals to finish the job in one pass.
It fits Dana 25, Dana 27, and Dana 30 front differentials. That covers a long run of Jeep models from the 1941 MB and military variants through the 2004-06 Wrangler Unlimited LJ, including CJ5, CJ7, Cherokee XJ, Comanche MJ, and Wrangler YJ and TJ.
It is sold individually as one OE-style rubber differential cover gasket. If you are servicing multiple axles or want a spare on hand, order the quantity you need.
This gasket cross-references original equipment part number 8120360, so it replaces the factory differential cover seal on compatible Dana 25, 27, and 30 front axles.
The 16502.01 is made of rubber in OE style, per manufacturer specifications. The rubber conforms to the cover sealing face for a repeatable seal and carries a 5-year limited warranty.
