Default Diff drain/fill plug sealant?

Do you guys use any sealant for the diff drain and fill plugs? What is recomended, teflin tape, silicone, pipe dope? It looks like there was some type of liquid sealant from the factory. Thanks in advance!

I was thinking about that or maybe teflon tape. I'll search the web.

The correct sealant FYI is "TFE Paste" its available from Homedepot or any plumbing supply. After my first diff oil change the plugs leaked though they were torqued properly, next diff oil change (I tow and wheel) I used the paste and it stopped the leaks 100%. This is what comes on the plugs from factory.
