Maintenance 109
Oil Quality
CAUTION
Use only the specified type of single
weight oils. DO NOT use multigrade oils
or EP gear oils (for example axle lube
oil such as GL-5 gear oils) as they may
damage components.
Monograde motor oils or transmission
oil type API GL-1 are recommended for
transmissions. Choose the correct viscosity
for the outside temperature the vehicle
will be operated in. See page 142 for the
beginning of viscosity charts.
If using synthetic base oils, the change
interval goes up to 250,000 miles (400,000
km), or 500,000 miles (800,000 km) if using
the manufacturer approved brand of oil filled
from the factory.
Oil Filter
Oil filters should be changed at the same time
as the oil. Also, make sure that magnetic
bottom plugs are cleaned before installing.
Change the filters in accordance with the
manufacturer’s Operator’s Manual.
