DIFFERENTIAL OIL REPLACEMENT


  1. DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL


    1. Stop the vehicle on a level place.

    2. A01FH9NE01

      for Front Differential:


      1. Remove the engine under cover.

      2. Remove the filler plug and gasket.

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

      4. Install a new gasket and the drain plug.

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

    3. for Rear Differential:


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

  2. ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL


    1. A01FGI8E51
      Text in Illustration
      *a 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.)

      Add differential oil so that the oil level is within 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) of 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.
