Notice: If you drive your vehicle through deep water that is higher than the front or rear axle, water may enter the axle housing and cause the axle lubricant to break down. This could damage the gears inside. Avoid driving your vehicle through deep water.

You should avoid driving your vehicle through deep puddles or standing water. If you must drive through water that is higher than the front or rear axle, see your dealer immediately afterward to have the condition of the axle lubricant checked.

If your vehicle has oil-filled hubs, occasionally check to see if they have enough oil. You can tell if there is oil there by using the circular gage on the sight glass.

If there isn't, clean the rubber fill plug in the center of the glass, and then remove it. Be careful not to allow any dirt or water to get into the oil. Add enough of the recommended oil to bring it up to the level mark that you'll see on the glass.

Refer to your Maintenance Schedule for the proper oil to use.

When you fill the hub, check the glass again after driving a short distance. It takes a while for the oil to flow through the system, and you may find that you have to add a little more to fill it to the proper level. Be sure not to overfill the hub.
