That brings up an interesting story on my new car. I was thinking about changing the gear oil in the rear difference just as a matter of maintenance. So, I called the local Mercury dealer to find out what the service interval was and what kind of fluid it had in it. They said it should be changed at 105,000 because it has synthetic fluid. The Ford dealer said no, it is just regular 80-90W, but does not need to be changed until 100,000. So, I looked in the owners manual and it says, the rear end should NEVER be changed unless it was exposed to water. Donald H.
