Setup and Installation
Before beginning any fluid change, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and properly supported. Consult your vehicle's service manual for specific fluid capacities and procedures. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection.
- Locate Drain and Fill Plugs: Identify the drain and fill plugs on the axle housing. It is recommended to loosen the fill plug first to ensure it can be removed before draining the old fluid.

Operating Information
ACDelco Dexron 75W-90 Gear Oil is designed to provide long service life and reliable performance in automotive differentials. Once properly installed, the gear oil lubricates internal components, reducing friction and wear under varying conditions of speed, load, temperature, and torque. This fluid is approved for specific applications such as 2011+ CTS (not CTS-V) and 2011+ Camaro with manual transmissions.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your vehicle's differential fluid is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
- Fluid Level Check: Periodically check the gear oil level according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
- Fluid Replacement Interval: Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended gear oil change interval. This typically varies based on vehicle type, driving conditions, and manufacturer specifications.
- Inspection: During fluid checks or changes, inspect the old fluid for signs of contamination (e.g., water, metal particles) or unusual color, which may indicate internal issues.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues related to your vehicle's differential after a fluid change or during normal operation, consider the following:
- Leaks: If leaks are observed around the drain or fill plugs, ensure they are properly tightened and that the sealing washers (if applicable) are in good condition.
- Unusual Noises: Whining, humming, or clunking noises from the differential may indicate low fluid levels, incorrect fluid type, or internal component wear. Consult a qualified mechanic.
- Overheating: An overheating differential can be caused by low fluid levels, heavy towing, or incorrect fluid. Ensure proper fluid levels and type.
- Incorrect Fluid Type: Using a gear oil that does not meet the vehicle manufacturer's specifications can lead to premature wear and damage. Always use the recommended GL-5 specification fluid.
