Front Axle Lube
This weekend I tackled the front axle of my Hilux 4x4 (beam axle). The case was filled with an acrid smelling, streky grey oil, which appears to have been contaminated with the dark grey grease in the CV joints and hubs. My question is, should the front axle oil be clear and golden? If it has become contaminated, should I worry about flushing out the axle housing? Or should I just fill with all-new axle oil?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Dan
