The Ford E-450 typically requires Motorcraft SAE 75W-140 synthetic rear axle lubricant for the rear differential fluid. However, it is always recommended to check the owner’s manual for the specific fluid requirements for your vehicle. The owner’s manual may provide more detailed information on the maintenance interval and any specific recommendations for the rear axle lubricant.

What kind of differential fluid do I need?
Gear oil (e.g., SAE 75W-90, 75W-140, 80W-90, 80W-140, 85W-140) is the most common differential fluid. Some differentials use limited slip additives. Always check the owner’s manual for the specific fluid.
What is the difference between 75W 90 and 75W 140 gear oil?
A 75W-90 will be thinner at higher oil temperatures than a 75W-140. Both are the same thickness at lower oil temperatures. The 75W-140 is said to have a wider viscosity range – when more accurately it would be a wider temperature range.
How much transmission fluid does a e450 hold?
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Capacity: 5 speed 5R110W Total Fill 18.7 quarts. Capacity: 7.5 quarts Initial Fill.
Does it matter what differential fluid you use?
The best way to determine which differential fluid is correct for your application is to reference your vehicles owner’s manual. Using the appendix, locate the section under fluids, transmission fluid, transfer case fluid, or lubrication.

What are the symptoms of low differential fluid?
What are the symptoms of low differential fluid? Unusual tire spinning, gears grinding, whining sounds and strange damages on the sidewall of the tires are some of the common signs of low differential fluid.
What happens if you use the wrong differential fluid?
They found that whoever replaced the oil in the differential with the wrong viscosity was directly responsible for the damage caused to the front differential assembly and the four-wheel-drive (clutch) assembly.
What is the gear ratio of the Ford E450?
4.56 gears
All E450 gas motors have 4.56 gears. It’s a modified Dana 80 axle, with 10.75” gears since 2007.
What fluid should I put in my Rear differential?
Normally it will be an Extreme Pressure (EP) Gear Oil, typically EP80. However, some rear diffs such as limited slip diffs (LSD’s) require a special LSD oil which will be specified by the diff manufacturer if fitted as an ‘add on’ for special use or by the vehicle manufacturer if fitted as OE.
What differential fluid do I use?
The best way to determine which differential fluid is correct for your application is to reference your vehicles owner’s manual. Using the appendix, locate the section under fluids, transmission fluid, transfer case fluid, or lubrication.
