Lubrication
Driveline Lubricants
For assistance identifying the driveshaft model, see DSMT0100.
* Spicer Life XL ® universal joints are best identified by the rubber seal guards (a soft, pliable “boot”) fitted to the bearing cups.
Spicer Life XL universal joints have a plastic zerk cover attached prior to the required initial 350,000 mile re-lubrication. Standard
Spicer Life Series ® universal joints have a hard plastic slinger fitted to the bearing cups.
** Dana recommends re-lubrication of Spicer driveshaft with grease meeting NLGI Grade 2 specifications with an operating
range of +325ºF/+163ºC to -10ºF/-23ºC. The grease must also be compatible with commonly used seal materials (e.g. Nitrile -
'Buna N' types) and commonly used multipurpose greases (e.g. Lithium stearate types).
*** After initial miles (km) or time is reached, the plastic grease zerk cover must be removed and the joints re-lubricated. Once
the grease zerk cover has been removed, the “Re-Lubrication Cycle” interval must be followed.
