I want to change my rear differential oil. I don't know how to tell if it is a limited slip differential or not. Can you let me know what is? Also what differential oil I need to use. Thank you.

There are a couple ways to tell but the easiest would be to call a dealer and ask them to check your VIN. However, the next easiest is if you still have the tags on your rear diff. Can you look at the cover and get a couple pictures of the tags and we will be able to tell?

Next here is a video that shows how to do this on your vehicle:

Plus I am attaching the spec for the fluid that you will need to use. Let us know if you can get the picture of the metal tags that are on one of the bolts on the rear cover and we can go from there. Thanks
