On this episode I show you how to change the rear differential fluid on your 2013-2019 Ford Escape. This procedure only applies if you have an all wheel drive (AWD) Ford Escape. Ford says that the rear differential oil is a "lifetime" fluid and the rear differential has no drain plug. Ford defines lifetime as 10 years or 150,000 miles. Most people need to change the oil sooner than that. To change the fluid, you need to suck the fluid out of the fill hole and pump the fresh oil into the differential. I used just under 1qt of 80w-90 gear oil on this vehicle but, Ford lists the oil capacity as just over 1.2 qts. I would suggest getting 2qts. of oil just to be safe if your are looking to attempt this job. My oil came out very clean at 71,000 miles but, your results may vary.
