After driving your vehicle for approximately one week or 250 kilometers, it is recommended to perform rear axle maintenance, which includes draining all the lubricating oil from the differential and adding the appropriate amount of gear oil according to the table below. After driving for about two weeks or 500 kilometers, the same maintenance procedure should be repeated. Additionally, at the 1000-kilometer mark, perform the same maintenance steps again, and thereafter, conduct maintenance every three months, including replacing the lubricating oil in the rear axle differential (at your own expense).

The lubricating oil for the differential should be selected based on the ambient temperature and the specifications shown in the table. During the winter season, it is advisable to use 80W/90 GL-3 gear oil with a quantity of 150ml. In the summer season, it is recommended to use 85W/90 GL-3 gear oil, also with a quantity of 150ml.
