unusual noise. A fluid loss could indicate a problem.
Have it inspected and repaired.
How to Check Lubricant
To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should
be on a level surface.
A : Fill Plug
B : Drain Plug
. When the differential is cold, add enough lubricant
to raise the level from 0 (0 mm) to 1/8 inch
(3.2 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.
