Repair Instructions
Rear Differential Oil Level CheckS6RW0D3206001
1) Lift up vehicle and check oil leakage. Repair leaky
point, if any.
2) Remove oil level / filler plug (1) and check oil
contamination and oil level is lower end of oil level /
filler plug hole (2).
If oil is excessive dirty or insufficient, replace oil or
pour specified oil up to plug hole.
3) Apply sealant to thread of level / filler plug, and then
tighten it to specified torque.

kgf-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
Rear Differential Oil ChangeS6RW0D3206002
1) Before changing or inspecting oil, be sure to stop
engine and lift vehicle horizontally.
2) With vehicle lifted up, check leakage.
If leakage exists, correct it.
NOTE
Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other
service work than oil change, also be sure to
check for oil leakage.

3) Remove oil filler plug (2).
4) Remove drain plug (1), and drain old oil.
5) Apply sealant to thread of drain plug (1), and tighten
it to specified torque.

CAUTION!
• Bevel gear and pinion must be replaced as
a set when either replacement becomes
necessary.
• When replacing taper roller bearing,
replace as inner race & outer race
assembly.

1) Press-fit bevel pinion bearing outer races to
