Front and Rear fluid change? What fluid?
Just purchased a 2004 Ford Ranger 4x4 ext cab with 68,000 miles. I would like to change out the fluids in the front and read end differentials. What should I use for fluid......80-90 Mobil One synthetic?
What is the LS additive I keep hearing about? How do I know if my truck takes that or not? Thanks Thanks |
Re: Front and Rear fluid change? What fluid?
The friction modifier I bought from Ford, if you have an LS you need it, check the door tag or the axle tag and see what your axle code is, search the forum STL has posted the codes in several threads. I believe you want 85w90, I just bought the fluids to do mine, they are in my truck (unused) I'll check what they are later and post it.

I'd use Mobile1 synthetic my self. But Royal Purple would be my next choice.
Don't think you could go wrong with either one. |

Thanks for the quick replies!
My axle code is 97. I take that it is NOT a LS Axle? |

You have the open 8.8 4.10. That's the same thing I have. I am looking into lockers for mine. |

Also, that means I don't need the LS stuff? |
