Tandem oil level
n Ensure the tandems are level for an accurate oil level check.
n Slight oil pressure inside the tandem may give a false oil level
indication when the oil level dipstick is first removed. Relieve
the pressure by removing the dipstick slowly.
n Remove, clean, then re-insert the dipstick to check the tan-
dem oil level.
n The oil level should be between the two bends of the dipstick.
n Check both tandems.
Refer to Recommended lubricants page 217 for the correct oil
type.

ities page 219 for correct capacity.
