Rear diff fluid change? Fluid specs & capacity...

[Monte87]

Hi guys,
I am looking to change rear diff fluid for my 22 F150 raptor w 27k miles. What is the fluid specs and capacity with the stock cover and the Ford performance cover?? Any recommendations etc. Would be greatly appreciated. Also gasket?
Also what size is the rear? 8.8 or 9.75?

Thanks Anthony

Did you get the Ford performance or Spicer cover? Did it add more fluid capacity?
Thanks Anthony

I got the Spicer cover. Check this:

Ford Performance Rear Diff cover

Installed a Ford Performance Rear Diff cover. As others have said, great quality, more stout and more lube capacity. I did this at 390 miles and had no problem removing the OEM cover. The surface rust came off easily with green Scotch-Brite pad. I flushed the remaining oil with an extra quart if...

Grab a lubelocker gasket, and reuse the stock bolts.

Does the Gen 3 have a 9.75 Inch Ring Gear? Its interesting that the actual Ford repair manual says to use a fluid suction gun to remove old fluid. They don't even say to remove the cover completely. I guess you could use a Top Sider type device and then you wouldn't have to pull the cover.

I see that I could have answered my own question on this. For me, when it comes to keeping my 150k warranty, I will be buying the fluid from the dealer. If you go to Ford Parts online you can get the non-rip-off prices and pick them up at your dealer. Just did this with the coolant for $18.

Just changed my Rear Diff oil with synthetic Valvoline squeeze bottles - was still a bit of a mess - but done. I noticed that the spare tire had been rubbing against my Ford Performance diff cover - perhaps explaining why the cover bolts keep loosening? Any way, one bolt was missing all together and 3 others were just hand tight!
Got to check those more often.

Do any of you run without a spare tire all together - sure is a lot of weight hanging off the back end!
