TM 9-2320-365-10 Change 2 F-8.1/(F-8.2 Blank) F-9. LUBRICATION/SERVICE NOTES Engine dipstick is located close to starter solenoid connectors which contain 24 vdc and high amperage. Use caution removing/installing engine dipstick to prevent shorting across starter solenoids when checking engine oil level. Failure to comply may result in serious injury or death to personnel or damage to equipment. 1. Check engine oil level daily. Oil is full when level is within crosshatch marks on dipstick. Do not overfill. Fill crankcase with OE/HDO specified for the ambient temperature. 2. Check transmission/transfer case oil level daily with vehicle parked on level surface and transmission range selector in Neutral (N). Safe operating oil level is when transmission/transfer case fluid level is halfway between "HOT ADD" line and "HOT FULL" line on dipstick. With engine at idle (500-800 rpm) for one minute and engine coolant temperature at normal operating range (165-180°F (74-82°C)), check transmission/transfer case oil level. If level is below "HOT ADD" line, add one (1) quart of oil and check oil level. Repeat this procedure until oil level is halfway between "HOT ADD" line and "HOT FULL" line. If level is above "HOT FULL" line, drain one (1) quart of oil from transmission and check oil level. Repeat this procedure until oil level is halfway between "HOT FULL" line and "HOT ADD" line. Use OE/HDO oil specified for the ambient temperature. WARNING
