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.
