LUBRICATION LEVEL CHECK FOR FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, TRANSMISSION AND REAR
DIFFERENTIAL
Front differential:
When the vehicle is on a level surface, use the level indicator hole (1) as a lubricant level indicator (Figure 10-18) .
Lubricant level should be even with the bottom of level indicator hole (1).

Transmission:
When the vehicle is on a level surface, use the level indicator hole (1) as a lubricant level indicator (Figure 10-19) .
Lubricant level should be even with the bottom of level indicator hole (1).
Rear differential:
The rear differential does not have a level indicator hole. It is filled by volume. Inspect rear differential for leakage
at specified interval.
See Periodic Service Schedule on page 10-1. If oil leakage is found, drain oil, repair leak
and refill with specified oil type and volume. See Lubrication Change for Front Differential, Transmission and
Rear Differential on page 10-16.

NOTE: Metal particles may be discovered in the fluid or on the magnetic drain plug when changing the differential or
transmission fluid. These particles are normal and expected for the first few fluid changes. This is a result
of the gears being “net forged”, meaning the gears are forged to a shape very close to the final gear size
but the teeth are not finish machined prior to assembly. The “finish machining” occurs when the gears make
contact under load during vehicle operation. The magnetic drain plug is included in the design to collect
the metal particles generated from the gear break in process. This is an established process and is not
detrimental to gear service life.
Dispose of used oil according to the environmental laws and regulations for your area.
