Drive Axle - Dana
Drain the lubricant while warm. Flush each
unit with clean flushing oil. Change the
lubricant.
Eaton/Dana Axle Lubrication
• The original mineral-based
lubricant must be drained within
3,000-5,000 miles (4,800-8,000
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 5,000 miles
(8,000 km) if converting to an
Eaton-approved synthetic lube.
• Change the lubricant within the first
5,000 miles (8,000 km) of operation
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 dealer for Eaton-
approved lubricant brands.
