I really like my Ford dealer, but I'm guessing that Ford didn't make a huge effort to inform the mechanics about the maintenance for it.
I'm always pleased that Internet communities for vehicle owners have collectively built such a network of know-how.
Once again, the Savvy owner has a one-up on the "professionals".
Per Ford it is not a serviceable component. There is no replacement part listed and no-where in the service manual are there even instructions for replacing it. The only reason I even know about it is because of JOD and myself owning a Volvo R car. For a long time the Ford part number for the AOC/DEM/Haldex fluid was the Volvo number, and we had to buy it from a Volvo dealer.
