disposal

Important!

Risk of damage!

To avoid serious damage to the rear differential, it is essential
to use only approved transmission oils in the differential.

Note:

The oil does not need to be changed in rear differentials carrying
the "Life-Time-Oil" sticker.

Only change oil when rear differential is at normal operating
temperature.

Recycling:

Observe country-specific waste-disposal regulations

Undo oil filler plug (1).

Drain and dispose of differential oil.

Add differential oil up to lower edge of opening for oil filler
plug (1); if necessary, refer to  Technical Data for necessary fill
quantity.

Installation:

Replace oil filler plug (1).
