Gear Oil Level Check

The manual transmission, transfer gears, extension case and differentials (front and rear) are lubricated with gear oil. To check the gear oil level in any of the above locations, use the following procedure: 1) Park the vehicle on a level surface. Set parking brake and stop the engine.

2) Remove the oil filler plug (1).

3) Check the inside of the hole with your finger. If the oil level comes up to the bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
