CARE AND MAINTENANCE
2. Remove dipstick and wipe with a clean rag.
3. Insert dipstick in reservoir, then remove it
again to check mark.
4. Adjust level to "FULL" mark, using only
"DEXRON IIE or III" automatic transmission
fluid.
Wheel Bearing Oil Level
The oil level for the front and tag axle wheel bear-
ings must be maintained to the level mark in the
cap. The level is determined by a line, indicated
by arrows, that is incorporated to the plastic lens
and passes underneath the words "OIL LEVEL".
To check oil level after vehicle has been driven,
wait at least 15 minutes to ensure that oil has set-
tled. Drive axle wheel bearings are lubricated by
the differential oil. Maintain differential oil level to
ensure adequate lubrication of drive axle wheel
bearings at all times.
Caution:
Wheel bearing oil fill cap is supplied
with a very small vent hole in its center. Occa-
sionally insert a small tip (toothpick size) to be
sure that hole is not plugged; a plugged hole
may cause leakage when heat expands the oil
and air.

Air Tanks

Your vehicle is equipped with four (4) air tanks;
the accessory tank and wet tank must be purged
before every trip or once a month, while the pri-
mary and secondary air tanks must be purged
each time the oil and filters are changed (maxi-
mum 10,000 miles (16 000 km)).
The accessory air tank is installed above front

ing Compartment.
