LUBRICATION
Chassis Lubrication
General lubrication includes lubricating
all the grease fittings in the drivetrain,
front and rear suspensions, power
steering, and front axle, using a grease
gun.
Grease the chassis every 24 000 km
(15,000 mi). However, the lubrication
intervals should be every 16 000 km
(10,000 mi) or less to reflect heavy-duty
use if the vehicle is in a demanding
environment or running in a dirty or
corrosive atmosphere.
Lubricating Grease
Use grease with a lithium base with EP
additives and a consistency of NLGI No.
2. Care should be taken not to use any
grease other than one with EP additives
for the driveshaft. DO NOT use any solid
lubricants, such as graphite, copper or
molybdenum disulfide.
Lubrication Procedure
Make sure the grease fittings are
cleaned off before greasing fill grease to
the point where old grease and
contaminants are forced out from the
part and only new grease comes out. If
new grease cannot be filled so old
grease is flushed out, the part needs to
be checked for problems. If a fitting
does not accept lubrication due to
damage or internal stoppage, replace it.
NOTE
Think of greasing the same way as an oil
change. All old grease should come out
and be replaced with new grease. Remove
excess grease from fittings, shackles and
other surfaces.
