3a. Synchro-Mesh Transmission. Check oil
level. Level should be maintained at filler plug
opening. Add SAE 90 Mild-Type E.P. (extreme
pressure) Gear Lubricant for temperature not
lower than 10°F. below zero. For temperatures
lower than lOoF. below zero, add SAE 80 Mild-
Type E.P. Gear Lubricant. NOTE: Draining

3b. Dynafiow Transmission. Remove cover
from floor pan under right side of front floor
mat, remove and wipe off oil gauge rod. See
figure 1-3. Check oil level with engine idling in
neutral, and with transmission oil warm. Add
Special Buick Oil for Dynaflow Drive to bring
level to "Full" mark on gauge rod.
4. Rear Axle. Inspect rear axle for leakage
at gasket joints and rear wheel bearing oil
seals. If transmission oil level was low, trans-
mission lubricant may have leaked back to
overfill rear axle housing. If transmission was
overfull, rear axle lubricant may have leaked
into transmission. If there is no evidence of
oil leakage it is not necessary to check rear axle
lubricant level each time the chassis is lubri-
cated. See paragraph 1-5 and 1-9.
