  3. ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL


    1. Front differential:


      1. B006FWCC01
        *a 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 opening.

        Note


        • Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

        • 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.
