Section 4
Rear Axle Lubricant
It is not necessary to regularly
check the rear axle fluid unless you
suspect there is a leak in the
system or you hear an unusual
noise.
Fluid loss in this system could
indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected.
To check the fluid level:
1. Park the vehicle on a level
surface and apply the parking
brake.
2. Turn off the engine.
3. Check the level of the
lubricant by removing the
plug.
4. Add lubricant, if needed, to
bring the level up to the
bottom of the filler plug hole.
See the "Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants" chart later in this
section to determine what kind of
fluid to use.
Power Steering Fluid
It is not necessary to regularly
check the power steering fluid
unless you suspect there is a leak in
the system or you hear an unusual
noise.
Fluid loss in this system could
indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected.
