Differential Fluid Drain and Refill

NOTE: The differential fluid can be drained and filled without having to remove the transaxle from the vehicle. Use only MOPAR 75W-90 petroleum based hypoid gear lubricant when replacing fluid.

REMOVAL
1. Raise vehicle on hoist.
2. Remove differential drain plug located on the bottom of the differential housing. Allow the fluid to drain into an oil drain pan.
3. Remove differential fill plug located on the differential side cover. This will assist the flow of fluid from the drain plug hole.

INSTALLATION
1. Install drain plug into differential housing. Tighten drain plug to 7 Nm (60 inch lbs.).
2. Fill differential with MOPAR 75W-90 or equivalent petroleum based hypoid gear lubricant. The fluid should be level with the bottom of the fill hole. The differential capacity is 0.946 liters (32 ounces).

CAUTION: Overfilling the differential can result in oil foaming and/or oil loss from the differential vent.

3. Install differential fill plug. Tighten fill plug to 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.).
