ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
MAINTENANCE SERVICE
NOTE:
D When having driven through water, check immediately if wa-
ter has entered (if so, oil is cloudy). Water mixed oil must be
changed at once.
D Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work than
oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage and status
of breather hoses.
Gear Oil Change
NOTE:
D Hypoid gear oil must be used for differential.
D It is highly recommended to use SAE 80W – 90 viscosity.
1) Before oil change or inspection, be sure to stop engine and lift
up vehicle horizontally.
2) Check oil level and existence of leakage. If leakage is found, cor-
rect its cause.
3) Drain old oil and pour proper amount of gear oil as specified be-
low (roughly up to level hole).
4) Apply sealant to thread of drain and level/filler plugs (a) and (b)
Type (a)
and torque plugs to specification.
Sealant 99000-31110
