front Diff Oil question
Hey guys

So this summer I changed both my front axles. Each time I lost a bit of front diff oil where the axles go in.

I would estimate that I lost about a third of a quart of gear oil total. Maybe a bit less.

Is this enough that I shouldn't be using four wheel drive?

I've been putting it in 4wd for brief periods to see if I can smell / hear anything strange, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Some buddys and I want to go wheeling tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I should given the bit of oil I'm missing up front. Would this be a bad idea?

Thanks

You could just check the front diff fluid by using your pinky finger.
