Idler Lubrication

The idler is filled with SAE 30 engine oil, which has a red dye additive for leak detection. If lubricant is required, position the plug at 15°. Remove plug. Lubrication can be added by means of a low pressure pump with a nozzle filling through the hole in the idler shell body. The oil to be used is SAE 30. The quantity of lubricant necessary is just a little less than the full capacity, which is approximately 0.28 L (0.34 oz). Reinstall the plug and tighten it.
