Maintenance Schedule
The transmission oil should be changed after the initial 25 hours of vehicle operation.
After this, it should be changed every 150 operating hours.
Proper transmission lubrication will reduce wear, and extend gearbox life. Please use
the type, and quantity of transmission oil specified below.
Inspecting the condition and level of oil in the transmission must be done on a
regular basis.
Do not operate the ARGO if the transmission oil level on the dipstick is above or
below the grooved indicator. Damage to the transmission or a reduction in vehicle
performance could occur.
Recommended Oil Type
Oil Type: 80W90 Gear Oil HYPOY-C or an EP Rated 80W90 Gear Oil for Extreme
Pressure Gear applications.
Using any other than the recommended oil could cause serious damage to the transmission
components. The approximate refill capacity of the ARGO transmission is 0.85 Liters
(1.5 imperial pints, 1.8 U.S pints). However, be sure that it is filled to the full mark on the
dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
