- 2000 explorer limited
Hi everyone, I got myself a 2000 explorer limited 4.0 sohc last week. I need advice on a few issues, it will be highly appreciated if you all could help me here, as ford explorer is not common here in my country,its getting very tricky for me to sort things out, but I love these machines and I want it to remain healthy.
1. it has 170,000 km on it so i want to change the auto transmission fluid,and filter. I have ordered the filter from Dubai, but I am not sure what oil to use, as MERCON 5 is not available here in my country. So what could be a alternate ATF oil for MERCON 5.
2. My rear diff is leaking for the pinion seal, so if I change the seal, what oil should I replace for the rear differential. I know recommended is 75w140, but since it is not available, can I use Use 85w140? or any other recommendation?
3.What oil should I use for the front differential.
4. I am changing my power steering pump. So what lube should i use for it.
5. I have this small pressure sensor on my brake master cylinder, the one with the orange wire socket, as I connect the wires, i see smoke coming out of it, what do I do with it? can i change the pressure sensor ? or do i have to change the complete master cylinder? what is the function of it?
I am new with fords, so need all of yours valued advices.
