Normal Vehicle Axle Maintenance
❑Rear axles containing synthetic lubricant and light duty trucks equipped with Ford-design axles are lubricated for life. These
lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the axle assembly has been
submerged in water. The axle and PTO lubricant should be changed anytime the axle and PTO have been submerged in
water. During extended trailer tow operation above 70°F ambient and wide open throttle for extended periods above
45 mph, non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be replaced every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever occurs first. The
3,000 mile lube change interval may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford
specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-
M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles (see
Owner’s Guidefor quantity). The axle lubricant
should be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water.
California Fuel Filter Replacement
❑If vehicle is registered in California, the California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to perform this main-
tenance item will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of the vehicle’s useful life.
Ford Motor Company, however, urges you to have all recommended maintenance services performed at the specified inter-
vals and to record all vehicle service.
