Differential Gear Oil: Inspection

  1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Remove the collector cover.
  3. Remove the oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
  4. Reinsert the level gauge all the way. Make sure the level gauge is inserted correctly and in the proper orientation.
  5. Remove the oil level gauge again, and check the level of differential gear oil. If the differential gear oil level is below "L" line, add oil to bring the level up to "F" line.
    NOTE: To prevent overfilling the differential gear oil, do not add oil above the "F" line.
