How to Check Lubricant
To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be on
a level surface.
If the level is below the
bottom of thefiller plug
hole, you may need to add
some lubricant.When the differential is cold, add enough lubricant to
raise the level to 3/8 inch (10 mm) below thefiller
plug hole.
When the differential is at operating temperature
(warm), add enough lubricant to raise the level to the
bottom of thefiller plug hole.
What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of lubricant to use. SeePart D: Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-18.
