How to Check Lubricant
If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole,
you'll need to add some lubricant. Add enough lubricant
to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole.
What to Use
To add lubricant when the level is low, use Axle
Lubricant (GM Part No. 12345977) or SAE 8OW-90
GL-5 gear lubricant. To completely refill after draining,
add 4 ounces (1 18
ml)
of Limited-Slip Differential
Lubricant Additive (GM Part No. 1052358). Then fill to
the bottom of the filler plug hole with Axle Lubricant
(GM Part No. 12345977) or SAE 8OW-90 GL-5
gear lubricant.

DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in your vehicle for

whichever occurs first, if you add only
DEX-COOL' extended life coolant.
The following explains your cooling system and how
