Re: 100,000 Mile Maintenance

Damn, this thread. Now I have to consider doing brake, power steering, tranny fluid changes, and a damn coolant flush. I already did the rear diff about 12K ago with Amsoil, and I did the plugs and wires around 6K ago.

Done yet?

I had Oil Can Henry's do a P/S flush on the 'hoe with this Golden Eagle somethingorother synthetic fluid before we drove up the AlCan. They had a $19.95 special. It was pretty cool, the dude showed me the old fluid, it was nasty. I had already done coolant, diffs, trans and brake fluid.

Nope. I figure I'll just drive down and let you take care of it for me.

I flushed the system the best I could a while ago and switched out my PS fluid for Amsoil ATF like Nick had recommended

How long can you go with the Amsoil in your Diffs? Or what's the recommended interval?

Normal service is 100k miles or by the owners manual, which ever one is longer.

Severe service is 50k miles or by the owners manual, which ever is longer.

So if your owners manual states 50k for normal service you can go 100k and if it states 30k for severe service you can go 50k.

Our Fords recommend 100k per change, that's what every Ford Mechanic has told me

Just curious, what does your owners manual recommend?

So that is at 100k, where does it state to change the diff fluids?
