(1) Oil filler and level plug
To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler and level plug.
3) If gear oil flows from the plug hole, the
oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If
gear oil does not flow from the plug
hole, add oil through the filler plug hole
until oil flows a little from the plug hole.

CAUTION
After driving the vehicle, the gear oil
temperature may be high enough to
burn you. Wait until the oil filler and
level plug are cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspect-
ing gear oil level.

Be sure to use new plug with new gas-
ket to avoid looseness of the plug and
oil leakage.
