Section 4
Front Axle Lubricant
It is not necessary to regularly
check the 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.
As it is difficult to perform the
procedure yourself, have the fluid
level checked or changed by your
dealer or service center.
Rear Axle Lubricant
It is not necessary to regularly
check the 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.
See the "Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants" chart later in this
section to determine what kind of
fluid to use.
To check the fluid level:
1. Park the vehicle on a level
surface and apply the parking
brake.
2. Turn off the engine.
3. Remove the filler plug.
The proper fluid level is 0 mm
to 10 mm (0 to 3/8 inch)
below the bottom of the filler
plug hole located on the rear
axle.
4. Add lubricant, if needed, to
bring the level up to the
bottom of the filler plug hole.
5. Reinstall the filler plug.
