  1. Check that the oil surface is within 5 mm (0.20 in.) of the lowest position of the inner surface of the differential filler plug opening.

    NOTICE:
    1. Excessively large or small amounts of oil may cause trouble.
    2. After replacing oil, drive the vehicle and check the oil level.

    HINT:
    If necessary, fill the rear differential carrier with differential synthetic gear oil.

  1. Check for oil leakage when the oil level is low.
