2019+ Axle and Transfer Case Lubes

[JohnnyO]

Just a helpful tidbit of information.

The 2019+ Ranger calls for conventional 80w-90 gear lube in the axle(s) which is kind of curious since older Rangers used synthetic factory fill. The only synthetic axle lube I've found that meets the owner's manual Ford Spec WSP-M2C197-A is Redline 75w-90. Unlike older Rangers, the early Gen 6's have drain plugs on both axles. Sometime in 2021 Ford deleted the drain plugs.

The owner's manual calls for transfer case fluid that meets Ford Spec WSS-M2C938-A, which means Ford Transfer Case Lube or again, Redline D6 ATF for aftermarket.

I'm not shilling for Redline and I'm not saying that's all there is, but that's all I've found.

Carry on.

Good info.

I stuck the thread so the information doesn't get buried. I figure fluids are something that should get stuck since everyone will eventually need them. Aftermarket addons, like bumpers and so forth, while certainly worth note, are less critical than fluids for maintaining our vehicles.
