1. Drain the oil from the center diff plug and the drain

2. Replace and tighten all drain plugs.

4. Remove the dip stick from the filter hole and fill with

5. Check the oil level with the dipstick and replace the
vent plugs on both final drives and tighten
Some operators have found that when they fill with the correct amount of oil and dip it,the
oil level on the dipstick is too high due to the fact that it takes a while for the oil to run
into the final drives.
Opening the Vent plugs helps to speed this up.
