12-34 Simple inspection and service
5.1 Check
1. Remove inspection plug .
2. Check that the oil surface reaches the open-
ing of the inspection plug hole by putting your
finger straightly into it. If insufficient, add the oil
from the inspection plug hole up to the opening.
CAUTION
The added oil should be of the same grade and
viscosity as the oil originally placed in the dif-
ferential gears.
3. Install the inspection plug.
5.2 Replacement
1. Remove inspection plug and drain plug to
let the oil flow out.
NOTE:
Oil removal is quicker if performed not so long after
the vehicle has been stopped and while the oil is
still warm.
2. Install the drain plug. The drain plug on the front
axle is fitted with a magnet. Wipe off any metal
particles sticking to the magnet before installing
the drain plug.
WARNING
Do not check the oil level immediately after
driving, as you could be scalded by
extremely hot oil.
Give the oil time to cool before performing
the inspection.
