checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the
axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should
be changed any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.

level surface.

equivalent meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118–A, for complete fill of
8.8 inch and 9.75 inch Traction-Lok axles.
