PART 8: MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
PB1319 (CAT. NO. 5296 ) —124— 22-01691 (R02/02)
Eaton/Dana Axle Lubrication
• The original mineral-based lubricant must be drained within 3000-
5000 miles (4800-8000 km) on all Eaton axles. This initial change
is very important because it flushes out break-in contaminants that
might otherwise cause premature wear.
• No initial drain is required on Eaton axles that are factory filled with
an Eaton-approved synthetic lubricant.
• Mineral-based lubes must be drained within the first 5000 miles
(8000 km) if converting to an Eaton-approved synthetic lube.
• Change the lubricant within the first 5000 miles (8000 km) of oper-
ation after a carrier head replacement, regardless of the lubricant
type.
• Refer to the Eaton Field Maintenance Manual for a particular axle
for lubricant specifications.
• See your Peterbilt dealer for Eaton-approved lubricant brands.
• Refer to the chart on the next page for lubricant change interval.
