Sterling 360

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Sterling 360 differential fluid capacity is 4,5 liters. Service intervals include checking at 6000 miles and changing at 18000 miles. The data covers 2 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Sterling 360 4x2 rear differential holds 4.5 liters of fluid, a capacity typical of light-to-medium duty rear axle assemblies where the housing volume is sized to keep the ring and pinion gear set adequately lubricated under load.
  • Both the standard rear differential and the limited slip rear differential on the 360 4x2 share the same 4.5-liter capacity across the 2007-2010 model years, meaning the physical housing dimensions are consistent between the two axle variants.
  • A check interval of 6,000 miles is specified for both rear differential configurations under normal use conditions, indicating a periodic inspection for fluid level and condition rather than a full drain-and-fill service.
  • The change interval is set at 18,000 miles under normal use conditions for both the standard and limited slip rear differentials, placing a full fluid replacement at every third check interval.
  • Limited slip differentials typically require a fluid formulated with friction modifiers to prevent chatter in the clutch pack mechanism. The specifications apply the same capacity and interval values to the limited slip variant as to the open differential, though the fluid type itself would differ in practice based on axle requirements.
