1 This recommendation is not applicable to RAN281.
• With construction site driving in extremely hilly
conditions the oil shall be changed after 2500
driving hours when using transmission oil 97312,
and after max 600 driving hours when using any
other oil
• For vehicles with hub reduction axles which are
frequently driven at more than 90 km/h the service
interval shall be halved
• If the total weight for the combination exceeds
80 ton and the ambient temperature is above 30°C
for more than 1 month per year, the oil change
intervals shall be halved
When replenishing oil level in rear axle
When the oil level in a rear axle is too low, it must be
topped up with oil. The following then applies:
• If the same oil is used to top up the rear axle as the
one already in the rear axle, there is no limit to how
much oil can be filled or how many times the oil
level can be replenished
• If approved oil other than the one already in the rear
axle is used for topping up, then no more than one
litre may be used. This applies regardless of how
many times the oil is topped up to the correct level.
If more oil needs to be added, carry out a complete
oil change instead
