How to Check Lubricant
AWD Differential Case
A. Fill Plug
B. Drain Plug
To get an accurate reading, the
vehicle should be on a level
surface.
If the level is below the bottom of
the filler plug hole, you'll need to
add some lubricant. Add enough
lubricant to raise the level to the
bottom of the filler plug hole.
A fluid loss could indicate a
problem; check and have it
repaired, if needed.
What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to determine what kind of lubricant
to use. See Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 11‑7.
