To determine the type of oil that a Ford Ranger rear differential takes, we can refer to the search results. According to a post on the Ranger-Forums, the Ford Ranger rear differential takes 80W-90 rear axle lubricant. If your Ranger has Traction-Lok limited slip, you should also add Ford friction modifier to prevent chattering. Some synthetic oil manufacturers claim that their oil does not require the modifier, but it is recommended to use it.
To change the rear differential fluid, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Pull the differential cover off to drain the oil.
2. Clean and reseal the cover joint.
3. Add fluid up to 1/4″ below the filler hole.
4. It takes approximately 2 1/2 quarts of fluid.
Remember to ensure that the vehicle is level before attempting to add fluid to the drive axle to achieve the correct fluid level.
Please note that the information provided is based on the search results and may vary depending on the specific model and year of your Ford Ranger.

What’s thicker 75W90 or 75W140?
So, the difference between “75W90” and “75W140” is that at operating temperature, the 75W140 will be considerably thicker than the 75W90 but at room temperature they will be about the same viscosity.

What kind of oil goes in the rear differential?
There are two types of differential fluid. One is mineral oil, which is a natural, crude oil-based fluid. The other is synthetic differential fluid, which is created in a lab. As with all synthetic oils, synthetic differential fluid oils can be fine-tuned for optimal performance.
What kind of Rear differential fluid does a 2003 Ford Ranger take?
Location: Rear. Viscosity: SAE 75W-140. Oil Base: Synthetic. Oil Type: API GL-5.
What fluid should never be used in a rear differential?
Never, under any circumstances, put engine oil in your differential. This will result in devastating damages to your engine. Engine oil is much different than gear oil, mostly it cannot withstand high pressure. Therefore, engine oil should never be used in place of gear oil.
What kind of rear differential fluid does a 1994 Ford Ranger take?

What is the difference between 75W 90 and 75W 140 gear oil?
75W140 has double the viscosity at 100 C than 75W90. Using it will consume more power. It provides better gear wear protection , but LT230s do not wear their gears, so it is a waste of time. The input spline wear problem has nothing to do with the oil.
