rear diff oil change
I know this has been talked about before. But when do you guys like to change your rear diff oil? I dont see it in my owners manuel. I have a standard diff, not the limited slip. Joe

According to my owners manual, maintenance guide, and I quote:
"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 or if axle assembly has been submerged in water.. Non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be replaced every 3,000 miles.."
If you don't have a copy, go to:

I first changed mine around 140k and am coming due again in a couple of thousand miles. For sure I will change again before 300k. It is about 10th or 12th place down on the "PSD List"
