Change Rear Differential Fluid Complete Guide - Silverado Tahoe Sierra Escalade

Описание: Learn how to change your own differential fluid! These steps apply to all trucks and rwd cars and SUVs with a rear differential!

Cliff demonstrates this process on a 3rd gen Silverado (2014) with the 9.5 inch rear axle using AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-90 differential fluid. Note that GM recommends 75w-85 for the silverado 1500 but I went with AMSOIL's recommendation given the quality of their fluid. GM recommends 75w-90 for 2500 and 3500 rears.

For 2014 -2018 1500 Silverado and Sierra (As well as same generation Tahoe, Suburban, and Escalade)

9.5" ~ Approximately 5.5 Pints
Cover Bolts Torque = 20ft-lbs, Fill Plug = 24 ft-lbs
8.6" ~ Approximately 4.2 Pints
Cover Bolts Torque = 20ft-lbs, Fill Plug = 24 ft-lbs

Always verify capacities and torque specs with your owner's manual.

According to the GM Factory Owner's Manual the fluid may appear low because it is not filled to a certain level at the factory. To get an accurate reading of the fluid fill you need to let the vehicle sit on a level surface for an hour or more so that the fluid can return to the pumpkin from the axles.

The following fill level are provided by GM:

For all 4.3L and 5.3L 1500 Series applications, the proper
level is 1.0 mm to 19.0 mm (0.04 in to 0.7 in) below the
bottom of the fill hole, located on the rear axle. Add only enough
fluid to reach the proper level.

For 6.2L 1500 Series applications, the proper level is
from 15 mm to 40 mm (0.6 in to 1.6 in) below the bottom of the
fill plug hole, located on the rear axle. Add only enough fluid to
reach the proper level.

For all 6.0L 2500HD Series applications, the proper level is from 0 mm to 13 mm (0 to 0.5 in) below the bottom of the fill plug hole, located on the rear axle. Add only enough fluid to reach the proper level.

For all 6.6L Duramax Diesel 2500HD Series applications and all 3500 Series applications, the proper level is from 17 mm to 21 mm (0.6 in to 0.8 in) below the bottom of the fill plug hole, located on the rear axle. Add only enough fluid to reach the proper level.
