Time to change all fluids.
I want to change all the fluids in my '85 4x4 f150 and have a couple questions.
1. Front and rear dif 80-90 weight hypoid gear oil/grease how much, a pint or two?
2. T-case dextron2 how much a quart or 2 or more?
3. Transmission I am going to replace the filter and gasket and need to fill it again. How many quarts will it need?
4. How many quarts for a full oil change, plus filter?
Already changed the the coolant along with the thermostat.
Thanks so much for your time,
Drake

Your front and rear differentials and your transfer case, should have plugs about mid-way up the side of the housings. This is where you fill it, and keep filling till it starts running out these plugs when the truck is on level ground.
transfer case should be 6-7 pints
rear diff should be 5-6 pints
front diff should be 4 pints
When you change the transmission fluid, you should drain the torque convertor too. It should have a small plug on front of the torque convertor. You find it by taking the small inspection cover off the flywheel area, and turning the engine till you see it down in an access hole made in the flywheel. If you drain everything, the tranny will take almost 14 quarts, so you might as well by a case of oil when doing this.
