![]() |
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:
- After changing the oil, drive the vehicle, and then check the oil level again.
- Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.
- Recommended viscosity:
Temperature Viscosity Above -18°C (0°F) SAE 90 Below -18°C (0°F) SAE 80W-90 or SAE 80W
- Standard oil grade:
Item Specified Condition Front differential (4WD) Hypoid gear oil API GL-4 or GL-5 Rear differential Hypoid gear oil API GL-5
- Standard front differential oil capacity:
- 1.40 to 1.50 liters (1.48 to 1.59 US qts., 1.23 to 1.31 Imp. qts.)
- Standard rear differential oil capacity:
Item Specified Condition Standard 3.30 to 3.40 liters (3.49 to 3.59 US qts., 2.90 to 2.99 Imp. qts.) w/ Differential lock 2.85 to 2.95 liters (3.01 to 3.12 US qts., 2.51 to 2.60 Imp. qts.) Made for DANA 2.40 to 2.50 liters (2.54 to 2.64 US qts., 2.11 to 2.20 Imp. qts.)
