oil level with the dipstick. Check that the oil level is even with
the mark on the dipstick, after it has been seated fully in the

that could contaminate the brake pads and lead to brake fail-
ure.

Refilling the Engine
Refill the engine through the oil fill port with the correct amount
of oil (Figure 6-4). Make sure the appropriate grade of oil is
used (Section 6.1.2). As you add oil, frequently check the
level with the dipstick. Do not overfill. Start engine. Check
for leaks. Stop the engine. Check the oil level. Add oil only to
the “Full” or “H” mark on the dipstick.
6.2 TRANSMISSION OIL INFORMATION
6.2.1 Checking the Transmission Oil Level

models of the ARGO are equipped with a transmission oil dip-
stick (Figure 6-5). Clean the area around the dipstick before
removing. Remove the dipstick by pulling up.
Figure 6-5. Transmission dipstick
The transmission oil level should be even with the mark on the
dipstick as shown in Figure 6-5. Add 80 W 90 Gear Lube
HYPOY-C through the transmission oil fill/dipstick hole until
the transmission is filled to the correct level. DO NOT OVER-
FILL. Replace the dipstick securely.
6.2.2 Changing the Transmission Oil
Change the transmission oil after the first 20 hours of opera-
tion, or after using 2 tanks of fuel. After this, change the
transmission oil every 100 operating hours. Remove firewall

sion. Drain the transmission oil into a suitable container and
dispose of the oil at a disposal site.
While draining the transmission oil, be sure to clean off any
metal particles that are on the magnet of the drain plug. These
fine metal particles are a result of the transmission gears mesh-
ing during the initial break-in period. Re-install the plug and
tighten it securely.
