Adding Fluid
Only at filler hole until fluid runs out of the hole, when
the vehicle is in a level position.

Drain
First remove fill plug (B), then drain plug (C). Recom-
mended tightening torque for drain and fill plugs is
15–25 ft. lbs. (20–34 N·m).

CAUTION!

When installing plugs, do not overtighten. You could
damage them and cause them to leak.

Selection of Lubricant
Use only manufacturer’s recommended fluid, refer to
Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid
type.

Front/Rear Axle Fluid
The front axle has a threaded “fill plug” on the cover
plate, and a threaded “drain plug” on the bottom side of
the carrier.

Fluid Level Check
Lubricant should be 1/2

Љ (1 cm) below the oil fill hole.
