DIFFERENTIAL

Multigrade gear oil meeting MIL-PRF-2105E: 85W-
140 is recommended for use in the Meritor drive
axle. This lubricant performs well over a broad
temperature range, providing good gear and
bearing protection in a variety of climates. If
temperature drops below 10°F (-12°C), 80W-90
should be used, and below -15°F (-26°C), 75W-90
should be used. In extreme conditions or for better
performance, full synthetic gear oil should be
used.

POWER STEERING RESERVOIR

Use Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) Dexron-
III (F, G or H) or Dexron-IV for this system.

PLATES AND CERTIFICATION

The main components of the vehicle such as
engine, transmission, axles and chassis are
identified by different serial numbers. It may be
necessary to locate these numbers for warranty
purposes.
The engine data plate is located on the rocker
cover. The engine serial and model number and a
list of the optional engine equipment are written on
this plate. Refer to this information when ordering
replacement parts. Also the engine data plate
certifies that the engine conforms to federal and
any state exhaust emissions regulations.
