General Information

Dana Lubrication Philosophy

In promoting component reliability and longevity, proper lubrication is the key to a sound and effective maintenance program. Without effective lubricants at proper levels, remaining maintenance procedures will not keep components functional.

We believe synthetic lubricants have proven to be superior to petroleum products and represent opportunities to promote superior maintenance and bottom line operating performance while signiﬁcantly extending component service life and reliability.

Standard Fill Lubricants

Drive Axle lubricants must meet a number of lubricant industry requirements. Refer to the charts in the Dana Lubrication Manual to select the proper lubricant.

Extended Drain Lubricants

Extended Drain synthetic lubricants offer superior thermal and oxidative stability for extended product performance and reliability.

The superior performance characteristics of these lubricants enable Dana to offer extended drain and extended warranties. Added beneﬁts include a more efﬁcient drivetrain that translates into proven fuel economy savings over mineral based lubricants.

Important: Using Extended Drain synthetic lubricants is required to maintain Dana extended warranties.

It is important to use the lubricants that meet the current speciﬁcations set by Dana. Look for the appropriate approval code on the container.

Note: For additional information on Spicer® lubrication, see the Spicer Products Lubrication Manual.

Approved Lubricants

The following is a list of lubricants approved by Dana for use with the Spicer® drivetrain components. These lubricants have passed the appropriate Performance Speciﬁcation for the type of service and lubricant drain interval.

If the drive axles are factory ﬁlled with approved lubricants, any top off lubricant must also be an approved lubricant in order to keep the extended warranty (if applicable) and extended drain interval intact.

Lubrication Intervals

Line Haul – 500,000 Mile Extended Lube Drain Interval

The extended drain interval program applies to the Dana axles listed below that meet the following conditions:

• Heavy Duty and Medium Duty axles

• Line haul service (On-highway)

– Lubricant Approval Levels:

Drive-Axle – SHAES 256 Rev C

• Factory filled with lubricants approved for 500,000 mile drain cycles(US/Canada); 250,000/400,000 Km (Outside US/Canada)

• Refer to charts listed in this manual for axle drain intervals when using “Extended Drain Lubricants.”

• Dana-approved lubricant must be used to keep the extended warranty in place. The extended drain program and any extended warranty program are separate programs.

Vocational – 180,000 Mile Extended Lube Drain Interval

• 180,000 mile or three (3) year extended drain interval

• The approved lubricants may be factory installed at

the truck manufacturer, or service ﬁlled up to 500 miles, and may remain in the drive axles for the 180,000 mile or three (3) year drain interval (whichever comes ﬁrst).

Lubricant approval levels:

• Axle – SHAES 256 Rev C or SHAES 429

Vehicle Application D eﬁnitions

Line Haul (On-highway)

• High mileage operation (over 60,000 miles [96,500 Km] per year)

• On-highway or good to excellent concrete or asphalt

• More than 30 miles [48 Km] between starting

and stopping

• 4x2, 6x2, 6x4 tractor/trailer combinations and straight trucks

• Check fluid levels and inspect for leaks at regular PM maintenance intervals, not to exceed 12,000 miles

Vocational

• Low mileage operation (under 60,000 miles [96,500 Km] per year)

• Off-highway or areas of unstable or loose unimproved road surfaces

• Less than 30 miles [48 Km] between starting and stopping

• Heavy-duty, off-road or specialized application type vehicles

• Check fluid levels and inspect for leaks every 50 hours

Warnings and Cautions When switching between types of lubricants, all areas of

each affected component must be thoroughly drained. Do not introduce additives and friction modiﬁers. Do not mix lubricants of different grades. Do not mix mineral and synthetic lubricants. Do not mix heavy-duty, multi-purpose lithium based

(#2 grade) grease with Sodium based grease.
