Easy Serviceability and Long Life

  • The 1000 Series has an easily accessible transmission fluid dipstick and an external spin-on oil filter on the left underside of the truck. The oil filter can be reached easily from a creeper or when the truck is on a hoist. This design also optimizes water flow through the oil cooler, which provides cooler oil to the engine.
     
  • Travel up to 50,000 miles or two years (whicever comes first) before your first scheduled transmission fluid change.(1)
     
1 Maintenance needs vary with different uses and driving conditions. See the Owner's Manual for more information. Only transmission fluid meeting Dexron III specifications should be used.
