Foreword When performed on a regular basis, lubricating the parts of your vehicle is the least costly way of obtaining safe and reliable vehicle operation. Added benefits and savings occur when you check that the engine, undercarriage, and noise emission control parts are in good working order during lubrication.
Freightliner LLC distributes the following major service publications. Workshop Manual Workshop manuals contain service and repair information for all vehicle sys- tems and components, except for major components such as engines, transmis- sions, and rear axles.
