tools.

If you notice fluid leakage or transmission malfunction,
visit your authorized dealer immediately to have the
transmission fluid level checked. Operating the vehicle

If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit your au-

thorized dealer immediately. Severe transmission

Fluid And Filter Changes
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper
maintenance intervals.

In addition, change the fluid and filter if the transmission
is disassembled for any reason.

Rear Axle

For normal service, periodic fluid level checks are not
required. When the vehicle is serviced for other reasons the
exterior surfaces of the axle assembly should be inspected.
If gear oil leakage is suspected inspect the fluid level. Refer
to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for further information.

Fluid Level Check

Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug on the
axle. The fluid level should be at the bottom of the fill
hole. Add fluid, if necessary, to maintain the proper level.
