Actions
When the number 6 appears with the service A or B, replacing the rear differential fluid is recommended.

Why This Is Needed

  • Replacing the fluid in the rear differential ensures proper lubrication of the bearings and gears in the differential
  • Replenishing the oil and additives help the limited slip portion of the differential operate smoothly
  • The fluid for the limited slip differentials can wear out and lose its properties to aid the clutch plates, which can cause a “chatter” sensation when driving around corners
