Any reason to upgrade fluid, or just stick with Motorcraft? I was planning at 20k which I’m rounding in the next month or so.

Amsoil for me. Mostly because I live in a cold climate and because the slight cost increase is negligible over the change interval.

It’s just chilling
hey, no worries! It’s just chilling up there. Wasn’t too worried about it being damaged but I was a little surprised ARB didn’t include a means to secure it.

I have seen the same chart with all the other fluids too. I think I'd preference published material over one guy in a service dept, but maybe not. Also I wonder if there is a huge difference between 75W85 and 80W90? I can't be huge I would think. Now I don't know what difference the Hypoid stuff would make. I am not familiar with what that is and I don't think i've heard of it before.Hey, In the ARB instructions they have u mark the dipstick based on the OEM cover. You then have to fill up the rear diff until the oil hits the level you marked on the dipstick.
I bought 3 bottles for the front and rear to ensure I had enough
I included a screen shot of what helped me figure out what oil to use.

Waiting on mine to ship from ARB. Just passed 20k miles.
2 quarts.
@Orangeflava - has the loose brake line caused any issues?
Any clearance issues with the track bar? I’m installing an Icon bar at the same time. But, curious how it goes with stock. I

Good info! I did a motor oil/filter change and a front diff change with no issues. Then the rear diff, Dana M220, I had a ARB cover to install. Looked and looked for a replaceable gasket and there were none. I bought good ol' Permatex Gear Oil Gasket Maker and went to work. After buzzing off the 12 bolts I got a small screw driver to pry off the cover. And WOW!!! Ford/Dana had a reusable gasket! This is great, even though the Amsoil 75W-90 only needs changing every 50000K miles, this was less messy and easy for the next change. I drive the Southwestern Dez very often. Heat often no worries now and the next change will be easy! Thanks Ford/Dana and Amsoil!
