Gearcase Lubrication
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION CHANGE FOR FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, TRANSMISSION, AND REAR
DIFFERENTIAL
Use the lower plug (2) for drainage
(Figure 10-18, Figure 10-19, or Figure 10-20)
. Remove both plugs to allow the
lubricant to drain faster.
See preceding NOTE.
Metal particles may be discovered in the fluid or on the magnetic drain plug when changing the differential or
transmission fluid. These particles are normal and expected for the first few fluid changes. This is a result of the gears
being “net forged”, meaning the gears are forged to a shape very close to the final gear size but the teeth are not finish
machined prior to assembly. The “finish machining” occurs when the gears make contact under load during vehicle
operation. The magnetic drain plug is included in the design to collect the metal particles generated from the gear
break in process. This is an established process and is not detrimental to gear service life.
Front differential:
Clean and install the drain plug (2) and washer before filling the front differential with new lubricant
Tighten the drain plug to 108 in-lb (12 N·m). Use a funnel when filling the front differential through the lubricant
level indicator hole (1).
See Periodic Lubrication Schedule on page 10-4.
Tighten the level indicator plug to
120 in-lb (14 N·m).

Transmission Lubrication Level
Transmission:
Clean and install the drain plug (2) before filling the transmission with new lubricant
. Tighten the drain
plug to 96 in-lb (11 N·m). Remove the fill plug from the top of the transmission case and use a funnel to fill the
transmission with lubricant.
See Periodic Lubrication Schedule on page 10-4.
Apply Loctite 567 to the threads of
the fill plug and tighten to 21 ft-lb (28 N·m).
Check the level of lubricant at the level indicator plug (1). Apply Loctite 567 to the threads of the level indicator plug
and tighten to 21 ft-lb (28 N·m).
Rear differential (2008-2011 vehicles):
Clean and install the drain plug (2) and washer before filling the rear differential with new lubricant
Tighten the drain plug to 96 in-lb (10.8 N·m). Use a funnel to fill the differential through the lubricant level indicator hole
(1).
See Periodic Lubrication Schedule on page 10-4.
Apply Loctite 567 to the threads of the level indicator plug
and tighten to 21 ft-lb (28 N·m).
Rear differential (2012 and newer vehicles):
Clean and install the drain plug (2) and washer before filling the rear differential with new lubricant
Tighten the drain plug to 96 in-lb (10.8 N·m). Use a funnel to fill the differential through the fill hole (1). Use Mobil 424,
Exxon Hydraul 560, or Esso Hydraul 56 lubricant. Capacity is 20 oz. (600 mL). Apply Loctite 567 to the threads of
the fill plug and tighten to 21 ft-lb (28 N·m).
