2019 Suzuki DF90A Does lower gear oil change require new drain screw gaskets?

[Ankona2020]

I have a 2019 DF90A engine and in the manual where it explains the gear oil change procedure it doesn't mention anything about changing out the gaskets on the drain screws like it does for the engine oil procedure. Are new gaskets required on the lower drain screws and if so does anyone know a model number for the part or where I can find them? I've searched and come up empty. Thanks!

Of course you should change them every time.

Your local dealer does not have them? I would think that would be your first and easiest place to look.

The book says change them every time, but I haven’t always put new ones on....just used the old ones as long as they look fine....I do have some new ones in my tool box, so maybe every other drain/refill I’ll put new ones....

I have noticed with the new gaskets , the screws need to be retorqued after a little while to make sure they do not leak
