For normal passenger car service, periodic fluid level checks are not required. At each engine oil change however, a fluid level check is recommended When this check is performed with the car in a level position, supported by the suspension, the fluid level should be 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) below the filler plug opening.
When the fluid level check is made with the vehicle on a frame contact type hoist, with the axle hanging free, the fluid level should not be lower than the bottom of the filler plug opening.
CAUTION: Should the rear axle become submerged in water, the lubricant must be changed immediately to avoid the possibility of early axle failure resulting from contamination of the lubricant by water.
