A rear axle fitted with differential brake is filled at the factory with
transmission oil according to the American military standard MIL-L-
2105 or MIL-L-2105 B provided with an additive for rear axles with
differential brake. The same type of oil should be used for topping
up and when changing. Oil level checking and changing should take
place at the same intervals and in the same way as for a rear axle
without differential brake.

The oil level in the steering box should be checked after every 5 000 km
miles). The oil should be at the level of the filler plug. If neces-
(3 000
sary, top up with the recommended oil. The oil in the steering box
generally does not need to be changed except when reconditioning takes
place. It the oil is to be changed, the old oil can be sucked up by
means of an oil syringe or similar, which is inserted down through the
filler hole.

15 Oil filler cap
The oil filler cap is fitted with a filter.
If this filter becomes blocked, there
will be excessive pressure in the crank-
case and this can lead to oil leakage.
The filter must therefore be cleaned
after about every
km (25 000
40 000
miles), and more often in dusty con-
ditions.
16 Crankcase ventilation
Some models are provided with a posi-
tive crankcase ventilation which pre-
vents crankcase gases from being released
into the atmosphere. The valve
should be replaced at intervals of
km (25 000 miles). The oil cap (6), the
hoses and 5), the nipple (1) and the
(3
filter (2) should be removed at the same
time and thoroughly cleaned. If the rub-
ber hoses should be in a poor condition,
replace them.
