Changing the axle oil
WARNING
Burn hazard.
The transmission oil operating temperature can
cause serious burns if contact is made with skin.
►
If hot oil contacts the skin, seek medical atten-
tion immediately for burn treatment.
The complete axle (transfer case, differential, axle
tube, wheel drives) shares a common oil supply. If
some of the oil must be changed, then afterwards,
all oil levels must be checked to ensure that suf-
ficient oil is in the axle.
Refer to section 10.6, page 163 to determine the
correct size container to avoid spillage of the
drained lubricant.
The transmission oil is viscous. Change the axle
oil while the oil is warm and open the filler plugs,
so that the oil runs out more quickly.

eNVIRONmeNTAl NOTe
Avoid environmental damage.
Do not allow oil and waste containing oil to enter
the ground or bodies of water.
Collect leaking transmission oil and dispose of it
in an ecologically sound manner.
