Front-Wheel Drive Axle - Check Oil Level in Final Drives

LX1045658
LX1045658-UN-08NOV10

CAUTION: If the oil is hot, it may be under pressure. Unscrew the level plug slowly.

  1. Turn the wheel until OIL LEVEL mark (A) is horizontal.

  2. Remove level plug (B). Oil must be level with drain screw bore.

  3. If necessary, top up with oil at this point. Tighten level plug to 90 Nm (66 lb.-ft.). Always use a transmission oil listed in the Fuel, Lubricants, Hydraulic Oil and Coolant section.

NOTE: Change oil in axle housing and final drives after the first 100 hours of operation. Then change after every 1500 hours of operation or once every 2 years, whichever occurs first.
