O
perators, stay on the level when it comes to an accurate check on your FMTV’s
transmission oil level—and use the right oil.
The check must be made after operations, under the following conditions:
•
the transmission oil at
operating temperature (160°F
to 230°F). By the way, this is
an AFTER check in the -10
TM’s PMCS.
•
the engine running
•
the transmission in neutral
•
the truck parked on a level
surface.
The oil level should be
between the HOT ADD and
HOT FULL lines. Add oil as
necessary if the level is below
HOT ADD. If it’s above HOT
FULL, call in your mechanic.
