Driveshaft Lubrication Intervals
For assistance identifying the driveshaft model, see DSMT0100.
1 Spicer Life XL universal joints are best identified by the rubber seal guards (a soft, pliable “boot”) fitted to the bearing cups.
Spicer Life XL universal joints have a plastic zerk cover attached prior to the required initial 350,000 mile re-lubrication. Standard
Spicer Life Series universal joints have a hard plastic slinger fitted to the bearing cups.
2
Spicer Driveshaft Division recommends re-lubrication with grease meeting NLGI Grade 2 specifications with an operating range
of +325°F/+163°C to -10°F/-23°C.
3 After initial miles (km) or time is reached, the plastic grease zerk cover must be removed and the joints re-lubricated. Once the
grease zerk cover has been removed, the “Re-Lubrication Cycle” interval must be followed.
