Transmission Fluid
Changing and Magnetic
Plug Cleaning
Draining
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Apply the
parking brakes and chock the rear tires.
2. Drain the oil while the transmission is warm.
3. Clean the area around the fill plug and the drain
plug(s).
4. Remove the fill plug from the side of the gear
case. Remove the drain plug(s) from the bottom
of the case.
5. Clean the magnetic plug(s) before installation.
Use a piece of key stock, or any other conve-
nient steel slug, to short the two magnetic poles
and divert the magnetic field.
6. Install and tighten the drain plug(s) 50 lbf·ft (68
N·m) for an Eaton Fuller plug and 35 to 50 lbf·ft
(48 to 67 N·m) for a Meritor plug.
NOTE: Meritor recommends replacing the mag-
netic drain plug each time the oil is changed.
Filling
1. Add oil until it is level with the lower edge of the
fill opening. See Fig. 1. If the transmission has
two fill openings, add oil to the level of both fill
openings.
See Table 1 for approved transmission lubri-
cants. See Table 2 for lubricant capacities of

cant capacities of Meritor transmissions.
