Rear Axle And 4x4 Front Driving Axle Fluid Level
For normal service, periodic fluid level checks are not
required. When the vehicle is serviced for other reasons the
exterior surfaces of the axle assembly should be inspected.
If gear oil leakage is suspected inspect the fluid level. Refer
to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications”
for further information. This inspection should be made
with the vehicle in a level position.
The fluid level should be even with the bottom of the fill
hole (within 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) of edge of hole) for the
FDU215 HD front axle and C235FE rear axle.
Lubricant Selection
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifica-
tion” for further information.
NOTE: The presence of water in the gear lubricant will
result in corrosion and possible failure of differential
components. Operation of the vehicle in water, as may be
encountered in some off-highway types of service, will
require draining and refilling the axle to avoid damage.
Limited-Slip Differentials
If equipped, Limited Slip Differentials are require that 5 oz.
(148 ml) of Mopar Limited Slip Additive be added to the
gear lubricant. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Tech-
nical Specification” for further information. The Mopar
Limited Slip Additive should be added to the gear lubri-
cant whenever a fluid change is made to an axle equipped
with a Limited Slip Differential.
NOTE: When refilling an axle with a Limited Slip Differ-
ential, (which requires a Limited Slip Additive), the Lim-
ited Slip Additive should be added before the gear lubri-
cant is added to insure proper additive fill.
Drain And Refill
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the proper mainte-
nance intervals.
Transfer Case
Selection Of Lubricant

“Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for
further information.
