Proper fluid for t-case?
Can somebody tell me what the proper fluid is for the t-case on my '13 XLT? I want to change it.
I'm also going to do the rear axle since that's simple. Is that 75W140 full synthetic?
I didn't see any of this in my owners manual.

Went to my local dealership and they looked my truck up. The t-case uses special fluid now called Transfer Case Fluid (really ingenious name, huh?) and it's $9 bucks per quart. I bought two quarts to do my case.
The rear end takes 75W140 full synthetic. They get $21/quart for it so I passed. I'll pick that up elsewhere.

The manual for my '13 states 150k miles, along with front and rear diff fluid and trans fluid. I'm sure some will do it sooner depending on usage and safety factors they would like to use.

Yeah my truck is at 103,000 so I wanted to be proactive and get my stuff done. So I've done coolant flush, spark plugs, trans. fluid and filter, and t-case fluid this year. I plan to do rear diff. as soon as I get time. I likely won't do front diff. because of the difficulty level.

Thanks Robb! I was planning on doing both at 100k or sooner because I think that's when most recent automatics need to be flushed. Nice to know I have that buffer if I need it. We'll see what kind of garage space I have by that time, but that may be something I'll have to take it to my mechanic for, or to the Ford dealer. Right now I've only got 32,000 on 'er so I got plenty of time.
