Rear differential lubricant level check (AWD models)

1. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands.

2. Using the appropriate wrench, unscrew the check/fill plug from the rear differential.

3. Use your little finger to reach inside the housing to feel the lubricant level. The level should be at or near the bottom of the plug hole. If it isn’t, add the recommended lubricant through the plug hole with a syringe or squeeze bottle.

4. Install the plug and tighten it to the torque listed in this Chapter’s Specifications. Check for leaks after the first few miles of driving.
