Lubrication Chart Notes
1 Add if necessary. Only use pre-mixed
clean water and antifreeze in a 50/50
mix.
Add only the same type antifreeze,
that is: extended life or standard.
2 Check the fluid in the reservoir with
the dipstick. Add if necessary. Use
ATF Dexron
®
III. Change fluid every
150,000 miles (240,000 km). Change
filter every year.
3 There is no set change interval.
Change the oil (or grease) only in con-
nection with work on the hub or if dirt
is found in the lubrication. Use motor
oil SAE 30.
4 Change the oil according to the sched-
ule on page 61.
5 Check that the fluid is at the correct
level. If needed, add fluid using brake
fluid DOT 4. Fluid should be replaced
every 2 years.
6 Use a mineral or synthetic oil. Check
oil level periodically. Level should be
to the bottom of the inspection hole.
See page 166 for oil types.
7 Check the oil level in the rear axles.
The level should be level with the in-
spection hole. Add if necessary. See
page 169 for oil types.
8 Use a lithium based grease with speci-
fication API NLGI No. 2. When
lubricating the springs, lift the axle off
of the floor, suspend the frame with
axle stands and lower the axle. The
spring bushings are now in the posi-
tion where grease can be added to the
contact surfaces.
9 Use a lithium based grease with speci-
fication API NLGI No. 2. Use
liberally in the slack adjuster. Make
sure the grease purges through the seal
on the brake cam.
NOTE! If the brake cam seal does not
purge, make sure the inner seal does
not purge into the brake drum and
onto the brake linings.
10 Use a lithium based grease with speci-
fication API NLGI No. 2. Only use a
hand operated grease gun. The high
pressure from an air operated grease
gun will damage the seal.
11 Use a lithium based grease with speci-
fication API NLGI No. 2.
NOTE! Always grease a Volvo front
axle with the wheels on the ground.
NOTE! To grease non-Volvo axles,
they are typically greased with the
wheels on the ground. Consult with
the axle manufacturer for the latest
recommendation.
