gear oil

[Mark Potterf]

Is there a synthetic oil I can use for both front and back. Should I pump or remove cover?

Thank's

Any reputable brand will do. I got mine done at my local Ford dealer, using genuine Motorcraft full synthetic gear oil front and rear, and Mercon V in the transfer case ('07 ST).



If you have the facilities to easily gain access to the covers, it never hurts to pull the covers off, wipe away any extra grime and do a visual inspection. If you're fastidious, go for it, but it's not mandatory. OTOH, after maybe 100k miles I'd want to take a peek...

Whent with Valvoline synthetic blend. I sold my floor jack and stands when I moved from cali to washington. Is there any smoking deals out there for a floor jack and stands 3 ton?

Remove rear, pump front. The front cover can not be removed unless you remove the diff. You don't want to remove the front differential.
