Lubrication
Proper lubrication procedures are the key to a good all-around
maintenance program. If the oil is not doing its job, or if the oil level is
ignored, all the maintenance procedures in the world are not going to
keep the transmission running or assure long transmission life.

Transmissions are designed so that the internal parts
operate in an oil bath circulated by the motion of the gears and shafts.
Thus, all parts are amply lubricated if these procedures are closely
followed:
1. Maintain oil level. Inspect regularly.
2. Change oil and filters regularly.
• Use the correct grade and type of oil.
• Buy oil from a reputable dealer.
Additives and friction modifiers are not recommended for use in Eaton
Fuller Transmissions.
1. Maintain Proper Oil Level
Different Views of the Oil Dipstick
Make sure oil is within dipstick marks for the corresponding oil temperature. Oil
should be checked at idle speed in the neutral position using the corresponding
temperature band. Cold checks can be performed when the oil temperature is 60–
120°F. The oil level should be within the dipstick “cold” band. Additional checks can
be made with the transmission at operating temperature by using the “hot” band on
the opposite side of the dipstick. The “hot” band temperature range is 180–220°F.
