DRIVESHAFT
Check the universal joints for any evidence of wear or looseness at the
regular lubrication interval. Stop your vehicle immediately, should
driveshaft vibrations occur, to avoid possible hazardous consequences or
damage to other components.
REAR AXLE FLUID
Your rear axle may have an optional synthetic lubricant that allows the
use of extended service intervals. A tag on the filler plug identifies the
use of the synthetic lubricant.
Only use a lubricant that meets manufacturer specifications. See the
Capacities and Specifications chapter. Use of a non-approved rear
axle lubricant may cause internal axle component damage.
Checking the Fluid Level
See the Scheduled Maintenance chapter for lubricant check intervals.
1. Park your vehicle on level ground.
2. Set the parking brake and shift into position N or P (automatic
transmission), or first gear (manual transmission). Turn the engine
off.
3. Clean any dirt from around the axle filler plug.
4. Remove the filler plug and inspect the lubricant level. It should be at
the bottom of the filler plug opening.
5. Add lubricant, if necessary, through the filler plug opening.
6. Clean and install the filler plug securely.
Changing the Fluid
See the Scheduled Maintenance chapter for lubricant change intervals.
1. Drain the rear axle while the lubricant is warm.
2. Park your vehicle on level ground.
3. Set the parking brake and shift into position N or P (automatic
transmission), or first gear (manual transmission). Turn the engine
off.
4. Clean any dirt from around the rear axle filler and drain plugs.
5. Remove the filler and drain plugs. Drain the lubricant into a suitable
container. Dispose of all used automotive fluids in a responsible
manner following your local authorized standards.
