CHECKING AND CHANGING
FRONT AXLE OIL
(1) Inspection
① Pull out the dipstick, wipe its tip and
insert it again. Then, pull it out and
check that the oil level is between
the upper and lower limits.
② If insufficient, add oil.
►
(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.

NOTE
If oil gets on your skin, it can ir-
ritate the skin and cause a skin
condition. Make sure to clean
your skin with soap and water
or hand cleaner thoroughly.
Make sure to cool down the
engine sufficiently before drain-
ing oil. Oil is very hot and can
cause a burn if changing oil
right after the engine is stopped.
