When to Check and Change Lubricant

It is not necessary to regularly check rear axle fluid
unless you suspect there is a leak or you hear an
unusual noise. A fluid loss could indicate a problem.
Have it inspected and repaired.

How to Check Lubricant

To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be on a
level surface.

If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole,
you will need to add some lubricant. Add enough
lubricant to raise the level to the bottom of the filler
plug hole.

What to Use

See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-13
to determine which kind of lubricant to use.
