Fluid - Differential: Procedures

Rear Axle Lubricant Level Inspection

Inspection Procedure

1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Clean any dirt from around the differential fill plug.
3. Remove the fill plug and washer from the differential.
4. Check the differential fluid level. It should be even with the bottom of the fill plug hole to no lower than 6 mm (0.25 in) below the opening. 
5. Add new fluid if necessary.

^

Fill with synthetic axle lubricant GM P/N 1237826 (Canadian P/N 10953455).

^

For the proper synthetic axle lubricant to limited-slip additive ratio, perform the following:
-

For quart containers of lubricant GM P/N 1237826, mix in 2.4 ounces of limited-slip additive GM P/N 1052358.

-

For liter containers of lubricant Canadian P/N 10953455, mix in 75 milliliters of limited-slip additive Canadian P/N 992694.
This will maintain a proper synthetic axle lubricant to limited-slip additive mixture.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice.

6. Install the fill plug and washer to the differential.

Tighten the differential fill plug to 35 N.m (26 lb ft).
