Lubrication

Lube Change Intervals

This product combines the latest manufacturing and part

washing technology. When filled with a Spicer approved

synthetic lubricant at the factory, the initial drain is not

required.

Change the lubricant within the first 5,000 miles of operation

when not using a Spicer approved synthetic lubricant

in either a new axle or after a carrier head replacement.

Base subsequent lubricant changes on a combination of

the following chart and user assessment of the application

and operating environment.

Severe Service Lubrication Change Intervals – Severe service

applications are those where the vehicle consistently

operates at or near its maximum GCW or GVW ratings, dusty

or wet environments, or consistent operation on grades

greater than 8%. For these applications, the ON/OFF HIGHWAY

portion of the chart should be used. Typical applications

are construction, logging, mining and refuse removal.

Note: Clean metallic particles from the magnetic filler plug

and drain plugs. Clean or replace the breather yearly to

avoid lube contamination due to water ingestion.

* Axles using LMS wheel end system
