Rear Axle Lubricant It is not necessary to regularly check the fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or you hear an unusual noise. Fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected. Axle assemblies are filled by volume of fluid rather than filled to reach a certain level. Readings will vary depending on how long the vehicle has been stationary. Remember that the rear axle assembly must be supported to get a true reading. See the "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" chart later in this section to determine what kind of fluid to use. To check the fluid level: 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake. 2. Turn off the engine. 3. Check the level of the lubricant by removing the plug. The proper level is 1 mm to 19 mm below the bottom of the filler plug hole. Add only enough fluid to bring the fluid up to the proper level. . . . 316
