- '00 Explorer EB 4SOHC RWD
I have a 2000 explorer RWD with the 4.10 limited slip.
My rear differential has near been service yet, 154k miles.
I've seen ideas that it should be done at 150 and then every 30-60 afterwards...
In my owners manual i read it has 75w140 synthetic gear oil that they say never needs serviced in its lifetime except if the axle gets submerged in water. Well its never been submerged ever. They even say, don't check it ever unless a leak is present, which there are no leaks.
the job seems that it will cost maybe 90 bucks as it takes nearly 3 qts of syn gear oil which is about $25/qt, RTV for gasket, and the 4 oz of enhancement additive.
thoughts?
