(2) Changing
①
Unscrew the drain plugs on the
bottom of the axle and left/right
final cases to drain engine oil.
Since hot fluid flows out of the
engine first, be careful not to get
burnt.
②
After draining oil, tighten the oil
drain plug.
③ Add the specified amount of the
specified oil through the filler hole.
Do not add front axle oil over
the upper limit level.
Check the front axle oil before
starting the engine or at least
in 5 minutes after the engine is
stopped.
When trying to use new oil from
a different manufacturer or oil
with different viscosity, drain
used oil completely before add-
ing new oil.
