Maintenance Under Severe Driving Conditions
The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle
is mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be per-
formed on the following items as shown in the table.
Severe driving conditions
A Ð Driving under dusty conditions
B Ð Driving repeatedly short distances
C Ð Towing a trailer or caravan
D Ð Extensive idling
E Ð Driving in extremely adverse weather condi-
tions or in areas where ambient temperatures
are either extremely low or extremely high
F Ð Driving in high humidity areas or in mountain-
ous areasG Ð Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive
materials
H Ð Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in
the desert
I Ð Driving with frequent use of braking or in
mountainous areas
J Ð Frequent driving in water
Maintenance operation: Check = Check and correct or replace as necessary.

SAE Viscosity Number
+For cold areas:
10W-30 is preferable for ambient tempera-
ture above þ20ÉC (þ4ÉF).
On turbocharger models, 5W-20 is not rec-
ommended. Use 5W-30 only below 0ÉC
(32ÉF).
+For hot and warm areas:
20W-40 and 20W-50 are suitable.+For cold and warm areas:
75W-90 for transfer and 80W-90 for differen-
tial are preferable.

Checking Differential Gear Oil
1. Check differential carrier for oil leakage.
2. Check oil level.Filler plug:

Changing Differential Gear Oil
Oil capacity:
Front5.4 liters (9-1/2 Imp pt)
Rear H233B (Without diff. lock) 2.4 liters(4-1/4 Imppt)
H233B (With diff. lock) 3.0 liters (5-1/4 Imp pt)
H260 (Without diff. lock) 4.7 liters (8-1/4 Imp pt)
H260 (With diff. lock) 3.7 liters (6-1/2 Imp pt)
Drain plug:
:59-98N zm (6 - 10 kg-m, 43 - 72 ft-lb)
Limited-slip differential gear
+ Use only approved or recommended limited-slip differential
gear oil.
+ Limited-slip differential identi®cation.
(1) Lift both rear wheels off the ground.
(2) Turn one rear wheel by hand.
(3) If both rear wheels turn in the same direction simultaneously, vehicle is equipped with limited-slip differential.
Checking Front Wheel Bearing Grease
+Check that wheel bearings operate smoothly.
+ Check front wheel bearings for grease leakage and water or
dust entry.
+ Replace front wheel bearings or front wheel bearing grease if
wheel bearings do not turn smoothly.

Repacking Front Wheel Bearing and Axle Joint
Grease
FRONT WHEEL BEARING GREASE
Apply multi-purpose grease sparingly to the following parts:
+Threaded portion of spindle
+Contact surface between wheel bearing washer and outer
wheel bearing
+Grease seal lip
+Wheel hub (as shown at the left)
AXLE JOINT GREASE
+Drain approximately 2 liters (1-3/4 Imp qt) of differential oil.
+Remove knuckle spindle.
+Slightly pull out axle and repack axle joint with recommended
grease.
Refer to FA section.
Checking Free-running Hub Grease
Check free-running hub grease for leakage and water or dust entry.
Checking Water Entry in Knuckle Flange
+Check for water entry in knuckle ¯ange by removing one bolt
of lower knuckle ¯ange bearing cap and probing with a suitable
thin bar.
+After checking, be sure to reinstall the bolt to a tightening torque
of 30 to 40 Nzm (3.1 to 4.1 kg-m, 22 to 30 ft-lb).
Checking Brake Fluid Level and Leaks
If ¯uid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
