rear end fluid change 900 1994

When changing the fluid in a 940 locking limited slip diff. is it neccessary to remove the inspection plate and install a new gasket or can you just drain and refill? Also any preference in using red line vs mobil 1. I like the looks of the Mobil 1 becasue it looks like you can just squeeze the bottle into the filler hole and the red line you would need to use a differential fluid syringe.

Thanks for your advice
