on level ground. Remove the
differential fluid filler boll and
washer and carefully feel inside the

bolt hole. If it is not, slowly add fluid
until it starts to run out of the hole.
Use a SAE 90 viscosity hypoid gear
oil, API service classified GL5 or
GL6 only, in the differential.
Put a new washer on the filler bolt,
then reinstall the filler bolt. Tighten
it securely. Tightening torque:
33 lbf . ft (45N . m , 4.6 kgf . m)
The differential should be drained
and refilled with new fluid according
to the time and distance
recommendations in the
maintenance schedule.
