Your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and

is considered lubricated for life. These lubricants do not need to be
checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the
axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should
be changed any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.

Service refill capacity is determined by filling the axle to 6-14 mm

(1/4-9/16 inch) below the bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a
level surface.

Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of FEHP Friction Modifier, XL-7 or equivalent, for
complete fill of 8.8 inch and 9.75 inch Traction-Lok axles.

Service refill capacity is determined by filling the axle to the bottom of

the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface.

75W-90 Fuel Efficient High Performance Synthetic Rear Axle Lubricant
and 118 ml (4 oz.) of FEHP Friction Modifier XL-7 or equivalent.
