LUBRICANT

DESCRIPTION
Multi-purpose, hypoid gear lubricant should be
used for rear axles with a standard differential. The
lubricant should have a MIL-L-2105C and API GL 5
quality specifications.
Trac-Lok differentials require the addition of 4 oz.
of friction modifier to the axle lubricant after service.
The 8 1/4 axle lubricant capacity is 2.08 L (4.4 pts.)
total, including the friction modifier, if necessary.
CAUTION: If the rear axle is submerged in water,
the lubricant must be replaced immediately. Avoid
the possibility of premature axle failure resulting
from water contamination of the lubricant.
