Rear Axle ????
Ok guys,
Im looking to figure out what rear axle i have.I know i have the 4.10 LS axle,but is it a sterling,dana60,etc,etc.
I know i need the limited slip additive.
80-90,75-140,85-140??????
I think it needs to be synthetic,right?
I need to change out all my Axle seals,so i figured might as well change the fluid too.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

It used to be SAE 75W-140 High Performance Rear Axle Lubricant F1TZ-19580-B but I think Ford has a service bulletin (TSB) for 75-90W full synthetic. The additive is Friction Modifier C8AZ-19B546-A.
On edit: I found the Motorcraft recommendation...here is the link:

YES....... SAE 75w-140 Synthetic. Should be a metal tag attached to one of the differention cover bolts.

In my truck im using a ford 10.25 ring and pinion. I guess the 10.5 and 10.25 have closely related parts.

new truck has a 10.5 but yes a 10.25 r&p work. i think the only difference is the bearings the carrier rides in. thus obs/nbs can all use the same r&p.
i used royal purple synthetic. already had the friction modifier in it. (although i have an open diff
)
have a good day

No,as my buddys truck has 3.73.I have the same truck but with 4.10.
Im not sure why they use the dana 80 in DRW.And not the sterling or 10.5,etc,etc.
