The oil should be changed at 7,500 miles (12,077 km), then at 30,000 mile
(48,309 km) intervals. Proceed as described below:
- Park the car on a level surface. Set the parking brake and block the wheels.
- Position a drain pan beneath the rear axle/differential and remove the
drain (lower) plug, using the proper size socket or ratchet and extension.
Allow the oil to empty into the container.
- Clean and reinstall the drain plug.
- Unscrew the filler (upper) plug, using the proper size socket or ratchet
and extension, then add the appropriate grade of lubricant, depending upon
ambient temperature.
- Fill to capacity, until the level reaches the bottom of the filler hole.
See the Capacities chart at the end of this section.
- Clean and reinstall the filler plug.
- Remove the drain pan and unblock the wheels.
