ditive for rear axles with differential. A si-
milar type of oil should be used for sub-
sequent topping-up and changing . Oil level
checking and oil changing are to be car-
ried out at the same intervals and in the
same way as for a rear axle without a
limited slip differential.

be checked every 6000 miles (10000 km) .
Before checking wipe the oil container
clean. Then rem ove the cap and check the
level with the engine not running. The oil
level should be about '/4" (5-10 mm)
above the level mark in the container. If
the level is lower than this. top up with
oil, with tne engine stopped , to prevent air
from ·being sucked into the container. Start
the engine and recheck the oil level, which
should now fall to the level mark. Re-start
the engine and re-check the oil level, which
should be about '14" (5-10 mm) above the
mark.
