*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry
and diesel-powered vehicles, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*4: If you drive regularly in very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C), in very low temperatures
(under -20°F, -29°C), or towing a trailer, replace every 60,000 miles/100,000 km.
*5: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher level
of mechanical (Shear) stress to fluid. This requires differential fluid changes more frequently
than recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these
conditions, have the differential fluid changed at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km).
