Differential Oil Replacement

Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

Remove the differential filler plug and gasket.

Remove the drain plug and gasket, and drain the oil.

Install a new gasket and the drain plug.

Torque:

for front differential:

65 N*m{660 kgf*cm, 48 ft.*lbf}

for rear differential:

49 N*m{500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf}

Add differential oil so that the oil level is within 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.

NOTICE:

1. After changing the oil, drive the vehicle, and then check the oil level again.
   
2. Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.
   

Recommended Viscosity:

Item	Temperature	Viscosity
Front Differential (w/ A.D.D.)		SAE 75W-90
Front Differential (w/o A.D.D.) Rear Differential	Above -18°C (0°F)	SAE 90
	Below -18°C (0°F)	SAE 80W-90 or SAE 80W

Differential Oil Type:

Item	Oil type
Front Differential Rear Differential (w/ Differential Lock) Rear Differential (w/o Differential Lock)	Hypoid gear oil API GL-5 or equivalent
Rear Differential (for LSD)	Hypoid gear oil LSD API GL-5 or equivalent

Standard Front Differential Oil Capacity:

Item	Capacity
w/o A.D.D.	1.40 to 1.50 liters (1.48 to 1.58 US qts., 1.23 to 1.32 Imp. qts.)
w/ A.D.D.	1.60 to 1.70 liters (1.69 to 1.79 US qts., 1.41 to 1.49 Imp. qts.)

Standard Rear Differential Oil Capacity:

Item	Capacity
w/o Differential Lock	3.30 to 3.40 liters (3.49 to 3.59 US qts., 2.91 to 2.99 Imp. qts.)
for LSD
for DANA Made
w/ Differential Lock	2.85 to 2.95 liters (3.01 to 3.12 US qts., 2.51 to 2.59 Imp. qts.)

Check for oil leakage when the oil level is low.

Install a new gasket and the differential filler plug.
