First off I would like to thank everyone who’s offered great advice and helped me with my new project.
1997 Ford Explorer sport with 4.10
I’ve searched the forum and google but can’t find the specific information I’m looking for. I drained my rear diff fluid and the axle tubes, painted and sealed it up. After the sealant cured I starting pumping in gear oil. Expecting to use up 2.75-2.8 quarts I was confused when I used almost 3.5 give or take with 4 oz of friction modifier. I’m assuming it’s the same as any other diff I’ve filled which is fill until it spills out and self levels.
Would draining out axle tubes account for the extra fluid I had to add in the end?
Thanks!
