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.
