Your vehicle’s rear axle(s) may be filled with a synthetic lubricant that may

require a lubricant change. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide. Axle
lubricant quantities should not need to be checked 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.

Add 236 ml (8 oz.) of additive Friction Modifier C8AZ-19B546-A, Ford

Specification EST-M2C118-A for complete refill of Traction-Lok axles.
