When to Check and Change Lubricant
It is not necessary to regularly check the rear axle
fluid unless there is a leak in the system or you hear an
unusual noise. A fluid loss in the system indicates
that you have a problem. Have the system inspected
and repaired.
How to Check Lubricant
To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be on a
level surface.
The proper level is from 0 to 3/8 inch (0 to 10 mm)
below the bottom of the filler plug hole.
If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole,
located on the rear axle, you'll need to add some
lubricant. Add enough lubricant to raise the level to the
bottom of the filler plug hole.
