Rear End
Just curious what everyone is running for oil in their rear end. Going to change mine tomorrow and just wondering what your using and how much i need ( never done it before). Also is there a drain plug, or do i need to take the cover off?
Thanks for the help

see heres the big debate. to put friction modifyer in or not. i was told dont put it back in and the rear will lock up better. put it in and its a friction reducer that lets the clutch packs slip and sometimes no 2 wheel spin ? not sure how much truth in it , but it does make sense. mod reduce = slip. no mod reduce = lock up and fry both treads.

What year is your stang? It shouldnt matter but use Synthetic 80W90. Make sure its synthetic or you'll be changing it alot sooner than later. Ford recommends every 3,000kms when its not synthetic.
I used the Motomaster(Schell brand) last time. I change it every year or say 20,000kms.
I would use the friction modifier but if you dont, I'd say change the fluid regularily because friction creates heat, and heat kills oil. I'd still say use it, Ford recommends it for a reason.
