Proper Drive Axle Lubricant Level
• Regular inspection of the drive axle lube levels is an essential maintenance
procedure.
• The lubricant should be level with bottom of the hole.
• Important: The lube level close enough to the hole to be seen or touched is
not sufficient. The lube must be level with the hole.
• Your differential is filled with API GL-5 or MT-1 type gear lubricant,
Pennzoil Gear Plus Super-EW 75w-90.
NOTE: When checking the lube level, also check the housing breathers.
Clean the breathers if dirty, or replace them if damaged.
As you perform walk around and pre-checks, look for oil
leaks under the coach and / or at hose fittings. If oil seepage
appears at a hose connection, have the oil cleaned as soon
as possible as this may be an early warning sign of potential
trouble.
The hydraulic cooling fans and the power steering are
operated by the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic fluid reser-
voir is located in the rear engine access on the curbside of
the coach. The reservoir is filled with Dexron III.
Check the oil level in the reservoir every 6000 miles or
three months. The oil dipstick fill is located on top of the
reservoir in the rear compartment. The oil level should be
kept between the full and add marks on the dipstick. Change
the hydraulic oil filter every 15,000 miles, or once a year.
NOTE: Prevent dirt, dust or other foreign matter
from entering the hydraulic system. Always clean
off around the reservoir cap prior to removal.
