Rear Differential Assembly Fluid
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The rear differential assembly uses a specifically developed synthetic hypoid fluid which is intended for a lifetime service interval. However, proper fluid level must be maintained to ensure proper rear differential assembly operation.
NOTE:
Use only GM VERSATRAK fluid.
The fluid level range for proper rear differential assembly operation is 700-800 ml. New service replacement units will be shipped dry (without fluid). Fill new units with 750 ml of GM VERSATRAK fluid.
NOTE:
Do not use any leak detection dye additive. Additives may affect the operation of an All-Wheel Drive System. The GM VERSATRAK fluid Saturn P/N 12378514 contains a phosphorus agent, which when used with a black light will assist in leak detection.
