Make sure the grease cap is securely installed to the axle hub.

Remove the differential filler plug and gasket.

Pour oil into the rear differential carrier assembly so that the oil level is within 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.) of the bottom of the filler plug opening.

NOTICE:

Excessively large or small quantities of oil may cause problems.
