NOTE: Some Dana Spicer axles have a
small tapped and plugged hole near and
below the housing oil fill hole. This smaller
hole is for a lubricant temperature indicator
only, and should not be used as a fill or level
hole.
6.1 Fill the axle through the oil fill hole or
standpipe opening. Lubricant should be
level with the bottom of the oil fill hole, or
the top of the standpipe opening. To
check fluid level, see
Fig. 5 .
6.2 Install and tighten the fill plug 40 to 60
lbf·ft (54 to 81 N·m).

ket. Tighten the housing cover capscrews 90 to
