Oil Level Inspection
Inspect the transmission oil on a daily basis
Do not run the ARGO if the oil level in the transmission shows above or below the
mark on the dipstick. Damage to transmission components could occur
1.
Place the vehicle on a level surface. This
will allow the correct measurement of
gear lube in the transmission.
2.
Remove the engine access cover and
locate the transmission dipstick.

3.
Clean the transmission around the dip-
stick location to prevent any dirt from
entering the gearbox and causing pre-
mature wear to the internal components.
4.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean of oil. Return the dipstick to the transmission
and remove it once again.
5.
Inspect the oil level. If the level indicated is not even with the mark on the dipstick,
go to step 6. Otherwise return the dipstick to the transmission.
Depending on the age of the vehicle, the dipstick may require a 3/8" opened end wrench to
unthread the dipstick from the transmission housing. This could be the case for models
built prior to mid 1994. To check the oil level correctly with this style dipstick, unthread it
and wipe it clean. Re-thread it back into the housing finger tight, then remove it to view
the level.
