2. Differential Gear Oil Level

  1. Ensure the vehicle is in safe condition.
    NOTE: Do not check the oil level nor add oil to the case with the front end of the vehicle jacked-up; this will result in an incorrect reading of the oil level.
  2. Check whether the oil level is between the upper (F) and lower (L) marks. If it is below the lower limit mark, add oil until the level reaches the upper mark.
