  1. Check 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.
    If the oil level is low, add differential oil to adjust the oil level.
    If the oil level is still low, check for oil leakage. If leakage is found, repair or replace the part necessary to stop the leakage.

  1. Install a new gasket and differential filler plug.
