TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL DIPSTICK (TYPICAL)
CAUTION
The fluid level rises as fluid temperature rises. Do
not add fluid above the "cold run" band before the
transmission reaches 180
104 o C).
Hot Check
l
Make sure the transmission fluid temperature is
between 160ºF and 200ºF (71ºC and 93ºC) before
performing the hot check. Run the engine between
1,000 and 1,200 RPM for approximately one minute
to purge air from the system. With the engine idling
and the parking brake applied, shift transmission
from forward (D) to reverse (R) and back into neutral
(N) to fill clutch cavities with fluid. Remove and
clean dipstick, then check fluid level. If the fluid level
is on or under the lower HOT RUN line, add just
enough fluid to bring up the level to the middle of the
HOT RUN band.
TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL DIPSTICK (TYPICAL)
Replace dipstick and tighten the filler tube cap until
the rubber seal is correctly seated.
CAUTION
Do not overfill transmission fluid reservoir. Severe
damage may result.

Check fluid level as follows:
1. Stop engine and open compartment door.
2. Thoroughly clean the reservoir and its
immediate vicinity to protect the fluid from
being soiled by impurities.
3. Remove the dipstick on top of the tank , wipe
with a clean rag and check fluid level;
4. Top up level to the "FULL" mark on the
dipstick.
5. Put back the dipstick and close compartment

DRIVE AXLE WHEEL BEARING OIL LEVEL

Drive axle wheel bearings are lubricated by the
differential oil. Maintain differential oil at correct level
to ensure adequate lubrication of drive axle wheel
bearings at all times.

FRONT AND TAG AXLE WHEEL HUBS

The unitized hub bearings used on the NDS range of
axles are non-serviceable items. Bearings are pre-
adjusted, lubricated and have seals fitted as part of
the manufacturing process. The bearings are
greased for life and there is no need or facility for re-
lubrication.
