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 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 (12 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 whai
kind of lubricant
to
use. See Part
