1-9 REAR AXLE LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
a. Standard Differential Axle
Buick standard rear axles are
filled at the factory with a special
hypoid gear lubricant. It is not
necessary to remove the original
lubricant at any time except when
it has become contaminated, or
when it is required for inspection
of parts or for repairs. Therefore
there is no drain hole in the rear
axle housing.
Draining and flushing is not rec-
ommended unless the lubricant
has become contaminated. When
complete refilling is necessary,
Multi-Purpose Gear Lubricant
(conforming to specification MIL-
L-2105B) may be used provided
the axle has been in service for
1,000 miles or more. Axles with
less than 1,000 miles service
must not be completely refilled
with any lubricant other than
Factory Hypoid Lubricant.
The lube is packaged with re-
placement ring and pinion gear
sets and is also available through
the Buick Parts Department under
Group 5.535.
