Lubrication
Proper lubrication procedure is the key to a good and complete maintenance program. If the oil is not doing its
job, or if the oil level is ignored, all the other possible maintenance procedures will not be enough to keep the
transmission running or to assure long transmission life.
Eaton transmissions are designed so that all the internal parts operate in an oil circulating bath, created by the
motion of gears and shafts. Thus, all parts are properly lubricated if these procedures are closely followed:
1. Maintain proper oil level by inspecting it regularly.
2. Change oil regularly following the maintenance interval chart.
3. Use the recommended grade and type of oil.
4. Buy from a reputable dealer.
Oil change and level inspection
Periodic transmission oil change eliminates possible bearing failures, ring wear and seizures, since the products
of normal wear in service (tiny metal particles), which circulate in the transmission oil, are harmful to these parts.
In addition, the oil changes chemically due to the repeated heating and cooling cycles of a transmission in use.
As a general guide, the following chart provides maintenance interval recommendation to level inspection and oil
change.
WARNING!
Always follow the vehicle manufacturer maintenance recommendation, which prevails over this
chart.
