Normal Schedule Normal Schedule Normal Vehicle Axle Maintenance Rear axles and power take off (PTO) units containing synthetic lubricant and light duty trucks equipped with Ford-design axles are lubricated for life. These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle and PTO lubricant should be changed anytime the axle and PTO have been submerged in water. Non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be replaced every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever occurs first, during extended trailer tow operation above 21 Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) ambient and wide open throttle for extended periods above 45 mph. The 3,000 mile lube change interval may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add four ounces of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water. Police and Taxi Vehicle Axle Maintenance Replace rear axle lubricant every 160,000 km (100,000 miles). Rear axle lubricant change may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number FITZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add four ounces of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water. F-450 and F-550 Axle Maintenance Replace rear axle lubricant every 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions on all F-450 and F-550 commercial applications. For F-450 and F-550 trucks operated at or near maximum Gross Vehicle Weights, the rear axle lubricant should be replaced every 50,000 miles. In addition, this 50,000 mile schedule should be observed when the vehicles are operated under the Special Operating Conditions, where noted, beginning on page 36. 34

changed anytime the axle and PTO have been submerged in water. Non-synthetic rear axle
lubricants should be replaced every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever occurs first,
during extended trailer tow operation above 21 Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) ambient
and wide open throttle for extended periods above 45 mph. The 3,000 mile lube
change interval may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant
meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number F1TZ-19580-B or
equivalent. Add four ounces of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-M2C118-A)
or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The axle lubricant
should be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water.
Police and Taxi Vehicle Axle Maintenance

changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water.
F-450 and F-550 Axle Maintenance
O
Replace rear axle lubricant every 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions on
all F-450 and F-550 commercial applications. For F-450 and F-550 trucks operated at
or near maximum Gross Vehicle Weights, the rear axle lubricant should be
