Front-Wheel Drive Axle - Instructions on Changing Oil (Axle Housing and Final Drives)

Replace oil in the axle housing and final drives of the front-wheel drive axle without brakes after the first 100 and after the first 1500 hours of operation. Then change after every 1500 hours of operation or once every 2 years, whichever occurs first. Use a transmission oil listed in the ”Fuels, Lubricants, Hydraulic Oils and Coolants” section.

NOTE: On front-wheel drive axles with brake, change the oil in the final drives after the first 100 hours, after the first 500 hours and thereafter every 500 hours of operation.

Always drain oil while it is still warm, i.e. immediately after a prolonged period of operation.
