To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be on a level surface.
If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole, located on the front axle, you may need to add some lubricant.

When the differential is at operating temperature (warm), add enough lubricant to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole.
