Rear Differential Oil Change
1) Before changing or inspecting oil, be sure to stop engine and hoist vehicle horizontally.
2) Hoist vehicle and check oil leakage.
If leakage exists, correct it.
NOTE:
Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work than oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage.
3) Remove oil level / filler plug (2).
4) Remove drain plug (1), and drain oil.
5) Apply sealant to thread of drain plug, and tighten it to specified torque.
"A": Sealant 99000-31260 (SUZUKI Bond No.1217G)
Tightening torque
Differential oil drain plug (a): 23 Nm (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lbf-ft)
6) Pour new specified oil until oil reaches just below the oil level / filler plug hole (3) as shown in figure.
NOTE:
^ Hypoid gear oil must be used for rear differential.
^ Use of API GL-5 80W-90 gear oil is highly recommended.
Rear differential oil specification
: API GL-5 (For SAE classification, refer to viscosity chart [A] in figure.)
Rear differential oil capacity
Reference: 0.7 - 0.9 liters (1.48/1.23 - 1.90/1.58 US/Imp. pt.)
7) Apply sealant to oil level thread / filler plug, and then tighten it to specified torque.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
