changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required
or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The
axle lubricant should be changed any time the rear axle
has been submerged in water. Fill 6 mm to 14 mm
(1/4 inch to 9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole. Add
118 ml (4 oz.) of additive friction modifier
C8AZ-19B546-A, Ford specification EST-M2C118±A for
complete refill of Traction-Lok axles.
3Service refill capacity is determined by filling the
transmission to the bottom of the filler hole with the
vehicle on a level surface.
