This is just a quick video if anyone needs help servicing their rear differential on their Ford Escape. This is a 2005 V6 4WD but any similar year 4WD should be the same procedure.

I just pump out the fluid and refill. No need to mess with the gasket. Make sure that breather can move. They seize up then pressure builds up and blows seals.

From Buffalo, N.Y. Hey Pal, thanks for the information. I think when I do mine I'll buy a gasket for that pumpkin. Thanks again.

Who makes a gasket for this "pumpkin"?

@@MrLEO1353 I think I spoke to soon. I checked several auto stores and no one had it. So I had to use form a gasket and there's no leaks. But I do have peace of mind knowing there's fresh 80-90 weight gear oil in it.

I also couldn't find a single part. It's why I used make a gasket in the video.

For anybody that doesn’t have the most mechanical experience fel-pro makes a gasket for the differential so you don’t have to use the black liquid RTV to make your own gasket

just a thought... doesn't the car on ramps interfere with the fill level ?.
@bruceyyyyy Жыл бұрын
It does. But the driveway isn't level. So this is actually closer to level than no ramps.

The oil capacity on my 09 Escape is 1.15 L according to my owners manual. The level should be within 1/2- 9/16 " below the fill plug..

I was taught many, many years ago to never over fill as it could blow the piston rings and then start burning oil. I always try to be a (hair) below the full mark. I NEVER go by the exact amount and go by the dipstick as sludge might be built up on the oil pan. The older the vehicle the more insenstent I will go by the dipstick. And when going to an oil change place they ALWAYS OVERFILL it, ALWAYS.

I'm not positive but in my experience a rear differential does not have any pistons.

Any idea why the capacity for the 09 Escape Hybrid is 1.4L and 1.15L for the Non-hybrid version?

do they sell a gasket for it or do you have to use the permatex black????

They might but I've never had the good luck with them on differentials.
