Fluid Checking

Differential Gear Oil

INSPECTION
1) Remove the oil filler plug, and then check the gear oil. Replace the gear oil if it is contaminated or deteriorated.
2) Check that the gear oil level is within -5 mm (-0.2 in) from the bottom of the oil filler plug hole. If the level is low, make sure that there is no oil leakage and refill up to the bottom of oil filler plug hole.

NOTE:
On VA1-types at factory settings, the oil level may be within -14 mm (-0.6 in) from the bottom of the oil filler plug. This is at normal level, requiring no oil refill.
