Description of Change: An improved power train oil level gauge assembly is now used on the machine listed above. The improved oil level gauge assembly is calibrated to more accurately reflect fluid levels when in cold condition at engine stopped mode. The preferred mode to check that fluid level accuracy is when the machine is parked on level ground, engine at idle, power train warm, and transmission in neutral.

New 462-9066 Oil Level Gauge As (1) replaces the former 107-2498 Oil Level Gauge As in the 156-2542 Power Train Oil Lines Gp .
Note: Check the power train oil level only when the machine is at operating temperature.
Note: Power train oil level readings observed on cold conditions should be used as reference only.The new oil level gauge assembly can be easily identified by several new features:
- The cap is purple, to match the recommended compartment identification.
- The etching on the gauge is colored white to more readily stand out against the dark gauge color.
- The bottom end of the operating zone on the cold oil side measures 195 mm (7.7 inch) from the end of the gauge.
- The safe-to-operate zone measures 54 mm (2.1 inch).
