Differential Fluid

Check the fluid level with the

differential at normal operating

temperature and the vehicle sitting

on level ground. Remove the

differential fluid filler boll and

washer and carefully feel inside the

bolt hole with your finger. The fluid

level should be up to the edge of the

bolt hole. If it is not, slowly add fluid

until it starts to run out of the hole.

Use a SAE 90 viscosity hypoid gear

oil, API service classified GL5 or

GL6 only, in the differential.

Put a new washer on the filler bolt,

then reinstall the filler bolt. Tighten

it securely. Tightening torque:

33 lbf.ft (45N.m , 4.6 kgf.m)

The differential should be drained

and refilled with new fluid according

to the time and distance

recommendations in the

maintenance schedule.
