What's the 2002 Dodge Dakota rear differential fluid capacity?

The 2002 Dodge Dakota rear differential fluid capacity is 2.0 quarts. The differential oil lubricates the ring and pinion gears that transfer power from the driveshaft to the wheel axles. The purpose of the differential fluid is to cool and lubricate Your differential. Without the oil Your differential would overheat due to the metal-to-metal contact and burn itself out. In a RWD system, the rear-differential has its own lubrication. Replacing or repairing a rear differential is a very expensive job. For this reason, it is good to at least check these fluids every 30,000 miles and to change them every 75,000 miles.If this fluid isn't changed in the manufacturer-prescribed intervals, then it can get d***y and thick, which could damage the differential over time. Trust us, You don't want to pay for a new differential.
