Vehicles equipped with Traction-Lok axle require synthetic rear axle

lubricant. Rear axles containing synthetic lubricant are lubricated for life.
These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is
suspected or service is required. The axle lubricant should be changed
any time the axle has been submerged in water.

Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent
meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118–A for complete refill of
Traction-Lok axles.

Service refill capacity for the manual transmission is determined by

filling the transmission to the bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle
on a level surface.
