      Check that the oil level is between 0 to 5.0 mm (0 to 0.20 in.) from the bottom lip of the case plug (for filler) hole.

      Tech Tips

      Since both types of transfer oil are interchangeable, either type may be added to the transfer assembly.

    3. When the oil level is too low, check for oil leakage.

    4. Install a new gasket into the case plug (for filler) and then tighten the plug.
