Changed my bearings and seals on rear axle due to leak on drivers side. Did both drivers and passenger bearing and seal change. So I had to drain differential for this job.
Miles 201615. Out ST Synthetic 95w140 and ford differential additive. About 2.7 quarts.
In Valvoline Synpower. No additive yet due to Valvoline claiming additive not needed.
post your latest transmission lubricant change.

2002 Lincoln Continental. 30K miles since last full system flush. Drained and flushed entire system - used approx 17 qts.
Out: Filtran Microfelt filter (USA). Probably some cheapo brand of Dex III was in there from the 2012 Monroe flush.
In: Motorcraft FT-128 filter - Filtran Microfelt (PA66+GF 33 Taiwan). Amalie Mercon V.
Just done two pan drops on 87 mercury AOD and 97 Buick 4T60E. Dropped pan on each cold and let them drain for 24 hours. On each I got around 7 quarts out. New filters, and refilled with STech. DEX 3 and 5 respectively on each. Each got a bottle of Lubeguard Red for preventive measures.Done for a while.

On both cars, one had sat for a long time(MONTHS) while the other sat for 24 hrs before removing the pan, the oil already had settled in the pan before removing.Also, I removed the filter right away since there was a lot behind it. Unfortunately many ned their cars and cannot afford to having them sitting around.
