NOTE:
The presence of water in the gear lubricant will
result in corrosion and possible failure of differential
components. Operation of the vehicle in water, as may be
encountered in some off-highway types of service, will
require draining and refilling the axle to avoid damage.
Lubricant Selection
Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in this
section for the correct fluid type.
Rear Axle
Rear axle limited-slip differentials require the use of
MOPAR
Limited-Slip Additive or equivalent. Refer to
“Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in this section
for the correct fluid type. This should be added to the
gear lubricant whenever a fluid change is made, when
equipped with limited-slip differential. Rear axle fluid
level should be 1/4 in (6.4 mm) below filler plug for
8-1/4 in, and 9-1/4 in axles.
Front Axle
Front axle fluid level should be at the bottom of the fill
plug.
