Hi fellow ranger warriors-
I'm on my way up to the jeep trails in Colorado and I thought this would be a decent chance to finally service the differential fluids. I was going to use the Ford OEM recommended. I'll be "representing" the Ranger way!
The rear is no question; Motorcraft 75w-140 synthetic oil, it's the front that has me puzzled. Now we all know that 99% of all 4wd vehicles have an open diff at the front, but of all those the FX-4/ with the Level II option may or may not. Would be interesting to finally know, as the tag is possibly not accessible to attempt to discover the "L" between the numbers "4 & 10" like the rear has. I'll attempt to get up in there with a light, but it's tight. Here is a pic of the label of the front diff, the top right corner is clipped, sorry it says "STD". Thanks in advance for your interest & expert advice, & comments.
