When the engine compartment is cool, unscrew the cap and wipe the
dipstick with a clean rag. Replace
the cap and completely tighten it. Then
remove the cap again and look at the fluid level
on the dipstick.
The
level should be at the FULL COLD mark. Add enough fluid to bring
the level up to the mark.
A fluid loss
in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired.
What to Add
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to use.
See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants"
in the Index.
NOTICE:
When adding power steering fluid or making a complete fluid
change, always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
Windshield Washer Fluid
What to Use
When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read the manufacturer's
instructions before use. If you will be operating your vehicle in an area
where
the temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against freezing.

Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged,
loose or missing parts, signs of wear, or lack of lubrication. Inspect power
steering
lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc.
Exhaust System Inspection
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body near the exhaust
system. Look for broken, damaged, missing or out-of-position parts as well
as open seams, holes, loose connections, or other conditions which could
cause a heat build-up in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes into the
vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.
Accelerator Control System
Lubricate all pivot points with engine oil, except the TBI throttle shaft. Do
not lubricate the cam pulley. Remove all external deposits from pulley. Do
not oil any accelerator or cruise control cables. Replace any cables that have
high effort or excessive wear.
Drive Axle Service
Check readfront axle fluid level and add as needed. Check constant velocity
joints and axle seals for leaking.
Transfer Case (Four- Wheel Drive) Inspection
Every 12 months or at oil change intervals, check front axle and transfer
case and add lubricant when necessary. Oil the control lever pivot point and
all exposed control linkage. Check vent hose
at transfer case for kinks and
proper installation. More frequent lubrication may be required on off-road
use.
