How
to Check Lubricant
If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole,
you may need
to
add some lubricant.
When the differential
is
cold, add enough lubricant
to
raise the level
to
1/2 inch
(1
2
mm) below the filler
plug hole.
When the differential is
at
operating temperature
(warm), add enough lubricant
to
raise the level
to
the
bottom of the filler plug hole.
What to
Use
Refer
to
the Maintenance Schedule
to
determine what
kind of lubricant
to
use. See
Part D:
Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants
on
page
6-16.
To
get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be
on
a
level surface.
