Differential Oil Adjustment

Stop the vehicle on a level place.

Using a hexagon wrench (10 mm), remove the differential filler plug and gasket.

Check that the oil surface is within 5 mm (0.20 in.) of the lowest position of the inner surface of the differential filler plug opening.

NOTICE:

1. Excessively large or small amounts of oil may cause trouble.
   
2. After replacing oil, drive the vehicle and check the oil level.
   

HINT:

If necessary, fill the rear differential carrier with differential synthetic gear oil.

Check for oil leakage when the oil level is low.

Using a hexagon wrench (10 mm), install the differential filler plug and a new gasket.
