Hi guys, I hope someone can help with this. I have a leak on my differential (rear axles) and I want to change the oil at the same time I correct the leak, but I have a doubt, well few doubts:
1.- In the manual is mentioned this is not needed to be checked or change cause this oil cause contains synthetic lubricants and are lubricated for life, only needs to be change if is suspected a leak or submerged in water.
2.- Non-synthetic lubricants should be replaced every 3000 miles or 3 months, whichever occurs first. It can be waived of this is filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192A, part number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B (EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles.
3.- In the Capacities and specifications table mentions Rear Axle Fluid is Motorcraft SAE 80W90 Rear Axle Lubricant with the note 1. Such note mentions the use of the Additive Friction Modifier.
My concerns are:
a) If I use 80W90 must be normal oil? And If use such additive every 3000 miles do I need to change it?
b) If I use 75W140 synthetic oil, do I need still using such additive or not?
Thanks
