Synthetic Rear
Axle Lubricant - Ref to footnotes 2 and 3 which read:
2 Vehicles equipped with 4.0L SOHC and 4.0L EI engines may have a limited slip differential. If your vehicles is equipped with a limited slip differential, add 4 ounces of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A, Ford specification
EST-M2C118–A, for complete refill of 8.8 inch and 9.75 inch rear axles.
3
Vehicles equipped with 4.0L
SOHC or 4.0L EFI engines and
3.73 or 4.10 rear axle ratios or
5.0L engines require synthetic rear
axle lubricant. Rear axles
containing synthetic lubricant are
lubricated for life. These lubricants
are not to be checked or changed
unless a leak is suspected, service
required or the axle assembly has
been submerged in water. The axle
lubricant should be changed any
time the axle has been submerged
in water. For Traction-Lok rear
axles, add 4 ounces of additive
friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A,
Ford specification EST-M2C118–A,
whenever the lubricant is changed.
