What kind of oil does a Ford Rear end take?

Ford Rear End Oil Recommendation
The recommended oil for the rear end of a Ford vehicle can vary based on the specific model and year. However, for many Ford vehicles, including the F-150, Ford recommends using Motorcraft 80W/90 Premium rear axle lubricant for the rear differential. This is a specific type of gear oil designed for use in rear differentials. Additionally, for limited slip Ford axles, it is recommended to add 8 oz. of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or an equivalent meeting Ford Specification EST-M2C118A for a complete refill.
It’s important to note that the specific oil type and weight may vary depending on the vehicle model and year, so it’s always best to consult the owner’s manual or Ford’s Chemicals and Lubricants website for the exact specifications for a particular vehicle.
