To Drain and Replace Lubricant:
With the motorhome parked on a level surface and rear axle warm, place a large container under
the axle.
1. Remove drain plug and allow axle to drain completely.
2. Dispose of oil properly.
3. Clean the drain plug and test (replace the drain plug if needed).
4. Install and tighten drain plug to 35 ft-lbs.
5. Clean the area around the fill plug from the axle-housing bowl.
6. Fill the axle with approved lubricant until the level is even with the bottom of the fill plug
hole.
WARNING:
When checking or changing the lubricant, always ensure that the axle is not "hot."
Oil temperature 90º F or hotter can easily cause severe burns.
Drive Shaft:
The drive shaft transfers the power produced by the engine to the drive axle. A worn or out of balance
driveline causes chassis vibration that generally increases in intensity with road speed.
NOTE:
It will be necessary to move the motorhome forward or backward to access all fittings on
the drive shaft.
