• Filter the lubricant if necessary before adding it to the differential

Product Lifespan:

• Unopened lubricant has a shelf life of approximately 5 years when stored properly.
• Check the manufacturing date on the packaging
• Visually inspect before use if it has been stored for extended periods.
• Discard the product if it shows separation, sediment, or an abnormal color change.
• Opened containers should be used within 12 months to ensure maximum effectiveness

Used Oil Disposal:

• Never dispose of used oil in drains, soil, or bodies of water
• Store used oil in appropriate, labeled containers.
• Contact an authorized recycling center for proper disposal
