This bulletin is being issued to add propeller shaft lubrication information in the Maintenance and Lubrication sub-section of the Service Manual.

The following information, which was also omitted from the Owner's Manual, has been updated within SI2000 for model years 1998-2002. If you are using a paper version of this Service Manual, please make a reference to this bulletin on the affected page.

The propeller shaft double cardan CV type U-joint centering ball and seat must be lubricated at the same time and mileage as that specified for chassis lubrication. Use Chassis Lubricant, P/N 12377985 (in Canada, P/N 88901242) or the equivalent, and a needle-type grease gun adapter, such as Plews/Stant 99-009 or 05-025.

The propeller shaft has two (2) double cardan CV type U-joints that require lubrication. The shaft also has a zerk-type grease fitting for the slip joint.
