EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED SERVICES



Lubricating Joints that have Grease Fittings

Location Of The Grease Fittings:

(1) Engine Oil Filter
(2) Master Brake Cylinder
(3) Power Steering Fluid
(4) Engine Oil
(5) Automatic Transmission
(6) Park Brake Linkage
(7) Rear Axle

Refer to the image for the location of the grease fittings.

IMPORTANT: Wipe off all dirt from the grease fitting before lubricating the joint. Ball joints should not be lubricated unless their temperature is -12°C (10°F) or higher. During cold weather, the ball joint should be allowed to warm up as necessary before being lubricated. Use a low-pressure grease gun on all joints to prevent seal damage.

Apply grease slowly while watching the grease seal. Apply grease until grease is seen bleeding from the seal. If the seal expands but no grease is seen, do not apply any more grease and allow time for the grease to bleed from the seal.

For RWD, lubricate the steering linkage (1), the upper and lower ball joint (2), and the wheel bearing (3).

A4WD Steering Linkage:

For A4WD, lubricate the steering linkage (1) and the upper and lower ball joint (2).
