Crankcase Oil Level

Crankcase Oil Level

In order to obtain an accurate measurement of the level of oil in the crankcase, the engine must be stopped and the truck

parked on level ground. Allow at least 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan. With-draw the dipstick which is

located on the right side of the engine and wipe clean. Reinsert all the way and then remove for a true reading. Add oil as

necessary to bring oil level up to FULL mark on stick. In cold weather sludge formation will increase and oil changes may

be required more frequently to eliminate contamination.

Transmission Fluid Level

The transmission fluid dipstick is reached through the opening in the grill at the rear of the operator's right foot. With the

engine running and the fluid hot, with-draw the dipstick and check the fluid level. Add fluid through the dipstick opening to

raise the level to the FULL mark on the dipstick. Refer to the lubrication order for the correct transmission fluid to use.

Radiator

Check the coolant level in the radiator. Level should be 1-inch from bottom of fill neck. Use equal parts water and glycol

base antifreeze when replenishing coolant. Check the area of the water pump for evidence
