Differential Gear Oil: Adjustment

NOTE: Though immediately after removing the overflow drain plug, differential gear oil (approx. 8 cc) remaining in the overflow pipe may come out, this does not indicate that the specified amount is reached. When removing the overflow drain plug, be sure to fill with the differential gear oil and check that the oil flows out of the overflow drain plug hole.
