DIFFERENTIAL
Multigrade gear oil meeting MIL-PRF-2105E: 85W-
140 is recommended for use in the Meritor drive axle.
This lubricant performs well over a broad
temperature range, providing good gear and bearing
protection in a variety of climates. If temperature
drops below 10°F (-12°C), 80W-90 should be used,
and below -15°F (-26°C), 75W-90 should be used. In
extreme conditions or for better performance, full
synthetic gear oil should be used.
For vehicles equipped with the ZF A-132 drive axle,
use ZF Ecofluid 80W-90 (ZF lubricant class 12M) or
refer to ZF List of lubricants TE-ML 12 for other
approved lubricants.
POWER STEERING RESERVOIR
Use Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) Dexron-III
(F, G or H) or Dexron-IV for this system.
