HPF has a "kit" for our cars though that contains new seals....I dont want to take out the whole pumpkin and rebuild the whole thing..I just want to change the oil.....SHOULD I take out the pumkin and degrease/clean it out and THEN put in the new oil?

I have to do this some time too, i think im going to do it when i put on my coilovers, if you do it before me tell me how difficult it is.

 

[siman]

Oh lord mario, its not difficult at all!

The drain and fill plugs are right there in your face!

Its just picking the RIGHT fluid and/or additives to actually gain the performance that you WANT ( or as i would put it I DESERVE) to justify the cost.

just from personal experience, get a PUMP or a nossle to fit that bottle when it's time to put it in.......gotta be one of the most annoying fluids to change in this car.

Anyways i just put in valvoline 75w-90 with ford additives. Mine has a slow leak so i ain't putting in any expensive stuff yet

I already have the pump for my amsoil bottles...( amsoil sells a GOOD pump made for the 1 quart bottles all the way up to the friggen kegs!)..its in my car right now

I figured it would be easy, just like the tranny is right there too,
just wanted to make sure, i really havent looked to much at the rear of my car, mainly keeping the engine runnign till i get the new one.

Amsoil claims you don't need any additive with their diff oil.
PS. I've been using Amsoil for 2 years with no problems.:love:

I got Royal Purple 75W90 this time and the ford LSD additive. I nevewr did know how much of the additive you are susposed to put in. Whole bottle or what?

 

[Red Dragon]

I run redline 75w90 w/no addititves, doesn't make a sound.

and yes the pump is a must, and, of course, make sure your car is level is doing the "spill over" method per TSRM....:icon_bigg

2 qts is enough
