Differential Sump

Differential Sump

The differential sump is checked separately from the transmission. A fill plug located on the side of the transaxle must be removed to check fluid level. The fluid should be level with the bottom of the fill hole. The differential capacity is 0.946 liters (32 ounces).

Inspect the differential area during engine oil changes for any leaks. If leakage is present, determine the source of the leak and repair as required. Remove the fill plug and verify the proper level. Adjust if needed.

NOTE: It is important that the proper lubricants be used in the 42LE transaxle.
