Front Axle
When to Check and Change Lubricant
It is not necessary to regularly check front axle
fluid unless you suspect there is a leak or you hear
an unusual noise. A fluid loss could indicate a
problem. Have it inspected and repaired.
How to Check Lubricant
To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be
on a level surface.
A: Fill Plug
B: Drain Plug
If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug
hole, located on the front axle, you may need
to add some lubricant:
•
When the differential is cold, add enough
lubricant to raise the level from 0 (0 mm)
to 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) below the filler plug hole.
•
When the differential is at operating
temperature (warm), add enough lubricant to
raise the level to the bottom of the filler
plug hole.
