Lubricant Specifications - Ford 2006 F150 Owner's Manual

Maintenance and Specifications
5
Your vehicle's rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and
is considered lubricated for life. These lubricants do not need to be
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.
6
Service refill capacity is determined by filling the axle to 1/4-9/16 inch
(6-14 mm) below the bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a level
surface.
Add 4 oz. (118 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL–3 or equivalent
meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118–A, for complete fill of 8.8 inch
and 9.75 inch Traction-Lok axles.

Service refill capacity is determined by filling the axle to the bottom of
the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface.

Friction Modifier XL–3 or equivalent meeting Ford Specification
EST-M2C118-A.
