the vehicle. If the vehicle is operated under severe

conditions, change the fluid as specified in Maintenance

Schedule B. If contaminated with water, the fluid should

be changed immediately.

Rear Axle

Fluid Level Check

Every 12 monthsor6,000 miles (10 000km) the exterior of

the axle should be checked for evidence of gear oil

leakage. This check should be made with the vehicle in a

level position, supported by the suspension, on an axle

and wheel type hoist, or on the ground. The axle fluid

level should be between the bottom of the filler plug and

a point approximately 3/8 inch (9.5mm) below the filler

plug.

Lubricant Selection

Use only the manufacturer’s recommended transmission

fluid. Refer to the Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and

Genuine Parts section for correct fluid type. This Limited

Slip Differential requires that a friction control additive

be addedto the gearoil whenever a fluid change is made.

Frequency of Oil Change

Drain and fill the axle at the interval specified in the

Maintenance Schedules. Change the fluid immediately if

contaminated with water.
