SAE 5W-30 or low-30), see “Engine Oil” in the Index.
2. CHASSIS LUBRICATION - Lubricate the front suspension, king
pin bushings, steering linkage, transmission, and transfer case shift
linkage, parking brake cable guides, rear driveline center splines and
front axle propshaft splines, brake pedal springs, and clutch pedal
springs at the intervals specified.
Ball joints and king pin bushings should not be lubricated unless their
temperature is
10°F (-12”C), or higher. When the weather is cold, let
them warm up before lubrication or they could be damaged.
Also, be sure to check all the vehicle fluid levels at this time.
3. CLUTCH FORK BALL STUD LUBRICATION (5-SPEED
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
WITH DEEP LOW ) - Not
applicable to utility or wagon models.

if they are cracked, swollen, or
deteriorated. Tighten all
hose clamps (except constant tension clamps).

your dealer for the proper replacement intervals
for your driving
