      2. Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, remove the filler plug and gasket.

      3. Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, remove the drain plug and gasket, and drain the oil.

      4. Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, install a new gasket and the drain plug.

         Torque:

         39 N*m  { 400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

   3. Rear Differential:

      
      

      1. Remove the filler plug and gasket.

      2. Remove the drain plug and gasket, and drain the oil.

      3. Install a new gasket and the drain plug.

         Torque:

         49 N*m  { 500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf }

2. ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL

   
   
   1. 

      *1

      0 to 5 mm

      Add differential oil so that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.

      Note

      
      

      • Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.

      • After changing the oil, drive the vehicle and then check the oil level again.
