2.9. A blocked vent can provoke oil leaks. The vent is
located at the top of the transaxle housing.
See Figure 2.9.
2.10. To change the gear lube: Clean the area
around the fill and drain plugs before removing
either.
2.11. Place a drain pan under the transaxle.
See Figure 2.11.
2.12. Remove the drain plug at the lower left corner of
the transaxle using a 12mm wrench.
NOTE: 80 and 90 weight gear lubes are very
thick at low temperatures, and may take consid-
erable time to drain if the ambient temperature is
below 41 deg. f. (5 deg. C.)
2.13. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick. This will allow air
to enter the transaxle faster, which will allow the
gear lube to drain faster.
2.14. Install the drain plug and tighten it to a torque of
132 in.-lb. (15 N-m).
2.15. Add 68 fluid ounces (2.0 L) API “GL-5” hypoid
gear lube, and install the oil fill cap/dipstick.
SAE 90 weight above 41deg. f. (5 deg. C.)
SAE 80 weight below 41 deg. f. (5 deg. C.)
2.16. Confirm the correct fluid level by by inserting
(but not threading-in) the fill cap/dipstick, and
withdrawing it to read the level.
