LUBRICATION
7. Drain old oil filters of all free flowing oil
prior to disposal. Place used oil in
appropriate containers and dispose of it
in accordance with laws in your area.
8. Remove the top port plug (see
illustration) from the left side and right
side of the transaxles prior to filling with
oil. This will allow the transaxles to vent
during oil fill.
9. Remove the cap from the transaxles’
expansion tank located on the vehicle
frame.
10. Fill with 20W50 motor oil until oil just
appears at the bottom of each
transaxles’ top port (approximately 2
quarts per transaxle, 4 quarts total).
Install the top port lug into each transaxle
as the oil level reaches this port.
11. Install and torque the top port plugs to
180 in./lbs.
12. Continue to fill the transaxles through the
expansion tank until the “Full Cold” line is
reached (this will take approximately 23
additional ounces).
13. Re-install the expansion tank cap by
hand. Be careful to not overtighten.
14. Proceed to the purge procedure.
