    Saving a Ford Explorer PTU - can the old thick fluid be removed

    The drain/fill seems to be doing some cleaning. Since doing so the first fluid exchange the car has ~400 miles on it. I was able to extract 400ml again and it was nasty already. Grey in color and seemingly thicker than the gear oil I refilled with. I should have taken some pictures but will...
