Differential Sump - Fluid Level and Condition Check
42LE - Automatic TransaxleSTANDARD PROCEDURE - Differential Sump / Fluid Level and Condition Check
NOTE: The transmission and differential have separate oil sumps. The transmission sump requires automatic transmission fluid. Refer to proper fluid required for this transaxle. The differential sump requires petroleum based hypoid gear lube. Refer to proper fluid required for this differential.
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 within 9 mm (.375 inch) of the bottom of the fill hole.
The differential capacity is 0.95 liters (32 ounces).
Adjust if needed. Use Mopar Fuel Saving 75w-90 Petroleum Based Hypoid Gear Lubricant.
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. Use Mopar Fuel Saving 75w90 Petroleum Based Hypoid Gear Lubricant.
