The rear axle fill and drain plugs should be tightened to 22
to 29 ft lbs (30 to 40 N·m).
CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the plugs as it could damage them
and cause them to leak.
Selection Of Lubricant

“Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for

Add fluid at the filler hole, until it runs out of the hole,
when the vehicle is in a level position.

25 ft lbs (20 to 34 N·m).
CAUTION!
When installing plugs, do not overtighten. You could
damage them and cause them to leak.
