7F-2 REAR DIFFERENTIAL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The differential assembly uses a hypoid bevel pinion and gear.
The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genuine
parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further, because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure between
bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lubricate them by hypoid gear oil.
VISCOUS COUPLING
The 4WD vehicle is equipped with a viscous coupling (1) in front of the rear differential.
The 4WD mechanism used for this vehicle distributes optimum driving force to the front and rear wheels accord-
ing to road conditions and driving conditions.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
OIL CHANGE
1) Before oil change or inspection, be sure to stop engine and
set vehicle horizontally.
2) Check oil level and existence of leakage. If leakage is found,
correct its cause.
3) Remove level/filler plug (2) and drain plug (1), then drain old
oil.
4) Install new gasket to drain plug and tighten drain plug to
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Rear differential oil drain plug
(a) : 55 N·m (5.5 kg-m, 40.0 lb-ft)
5) Fill proper amount of new gear oil as specified below
(roughly up to level hole).
6) Install new gasket to level/filler plug and tighten level/filler
plug to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Rear differential oil level/filler plug
(b) : 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft)
Differential oil
: Hypoid gear oil API GL-5
For oil viscosity, refer to the chart.
Differential oil capacity
: 0.9 liters (1.9/1.6 US/Imp. pt)
NOTE:
 It is highly recommended to use SAE 80W-90 viscosity.
 Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work
than oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage.
