driveline fluids type and interval
Spent the last 30 minutes reading posts. Found some conflicting info. Need some clarification...
Which fluids in what and how often?
-center differential/transfer case (not to be confused with rear axle)
-rear axle differential
the tranny info seems to be pretty much the same i found... NO mercon V, progressive flush, then four qt exchange every other engine oil change

i am disappointed at the fact that no one has replied to my question. I have been posting on FTE for a few years in a different forum, but this is my first one the escape forum. I have never waited this long for a reply.

We just got our Escape, so I don't have any first hand experience with the maintenance intervals on the various fluids (except oil of course.)
You might try the Fleet Ford web site. It has the VIN decoder and maintenance schedules/requirements for each model.

you might consult your owner manual as the fluid spec is there. In addition, there is also a maintenance schedule "booklet" which shows the schedule for most items as far as I could see.
Further from the 2005 manual, the "transfer case" fluid is "good for the service life" of the case UNLESS you have "waterized" your vehicle or there is a leak.

I haven't read up on the intervals, but I run synthetic fluids in all my drivetrains. I run mobil 1 in the engine and royal purple in the rest. Less heat and frictions = better mpg and less wear on parts.
