Front Wheel Bearings with
Oil-Filled Hubs
Notice: If you drive your vehicle through deep
water that is higher than the front or rear axle, water
may enter the axle housing and cause the axle
lubricant to break down. This could damage the
gears inside. Avoid driving your vehicle through
deep water.
You should avoid driving your vehicle through deep
puddles or standing water. If you must drive through
water that is higher than the front or rear axle, see your
dealer immediately afterward to have the condition of
the axle lubricant checked.
If your vehicle has oil-filled
hubs, occasionally check
to see if they have enough
oil. You can tell if there
is oil there by using
the circular gage on the
sight glass.
If there isn’t, clean the rubber fill plug in the center of
the glass, and then remove it. Be careful not to
allow any dirt or water to get into the oil. Add enough of
the recommended oil to bring it up to the level mark
that you’ll see on the glass.
Refer to your Maintenance Schedule for the proper oil
to use.
When you fill the hub, check the glass again after
driving a short distance. It takes a while for the oil to
flow through the system, and you may find that you have
to add a little more to fill it to the proper level. Be sure
not to overfill the hub.
