Coolant - Yamaha Kodiak 450 Owner's Manual

TIP
 Do not exceed the specified differential gear oil
quantity when filling. Overfilling will cause the oil
to seep out of the breather hose during and af-
ter riding.
 The differential gear case capacity is greater
than the recommended oil quantity, therefore
the oil level cannot be accurately checked from
the oil filler hole.
Recommended differential gear oil:
See page 10-1.
Oil quantity:
0.35 L (0.37 US qt, 0.31 Imp.qt)
6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for damage,
and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then
tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Differential gear oil filler bolt:
23 N·m (2.3 kgf·m, 17 lb·ft)
8. Check the differential gear case for oil leak-
age. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.

voir.
