Lubrication; Greasing - Mitsubishi FUSO FE 2006 Owner's Manual

Lubrication

Application and replacement of lubricants at the
specified intervals is vital to the vehicle's perfor-
mance, longevity, and safety. Following the mainte-
nance schedule will give optimum results.
•
If the vehicle is often used in demanding condi-
tions, for example, on unpaved roads, near the
coast, or in cold regions, lubricants should be
applied and replaced more quickly than speci-
fied in the maintenance schedule.
Consult an authorized dealer for the mainte-
nance schedule appropriate to your vehicle
operating conditions.
•
Use only the lubricants specified.
•
Special lubricants must be used if the vehicle is
used at temperatures below –23°C (–10°F). For
details, refer to an authorized dealer.
CAUTION
•
Apply and replace lubricants regularly. Use
of lubricants beyond their designed service
life could cause bearings or other compo-
nents to seize up and cause an accident.
•
Any checking, application, or replacement of
lubricants should be carried out with the
vehicle parked on level ground.
•
Wipe all lubricant inspection windows and
filling ports carefully to prevent the entry of
mud, trash, water, or other contaminants.
•
Never flush waste oil into the sewers or onto
the ground. Take it to a gas station or autho-
rized dealer.
