4:35 😂😂😂 son takes his job very literally and seriously

[@saivyia]

This was so easy thank god.

[@yoyomama78]

Thanks for sharing. Seems easy enough to do at home.

I did my break in PTU fluid change at 6k miles. It already had light metal on drain plug. Ill be doing break in rear diff and transmission fluid change at 10k. Mine has the tow package. I do a little towing. Better to be safe imo. Thanks for the video.

[@jay.0621]

Thanks for sharing. Helped a lot. Do u also have a vid of the trans fluid change?

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

I posted the video a couple of days ago.

[@billlink1726]

May want to consider a Fluid Film type product on the underside.

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

Thx for the suggestion

[@suunto61]

I’m gonna make a guess this will be exactly like a 2020+ Escape AWD. Let’s find out

[@powderriver2424]

I will definitely change out these fluids at 20K for sure. Since the rear especially doesn't hold much, I think that is on purpose however because I believe it's for economy reasons. Testing has hound that having less fluid aids in less drag in the gears aiding in more efficiency of the axle. That's just my theory anyways.

[@TylerWardhaha]

Less fluid does equal less drag, 100%. It’s also not full time AWD, so the rear rarely sees any power going through it.

[@ourv9603]

NORMALLY, a shop will change the lube in ALL the gearboxes at the same time. 30,000mi is usually when. Front diff-rear diff-PTU & transmission filter & flush all done @ 30. Does your truck have limited slip? Those require special oil OR use standard gear oil & put in an limited slip additive. !

[@TylerWardhaha]

The reason it’s different on the Mac is that it doesn’t have full time AWD, the rear rarely has much power going to it. Only the tremor package has locking diffs. Because the front diff(ptu in ford terminology) sees 90% of the power and is right next to the exhaust the fluid degrades significantly faster. The front underplate even has an air scoop to pull cool air over the PTU to keep it cool.

[@BoostedMaverick]

@dads is that a Ford Probe I see?? You really do keep your vehicle a long time 🎉

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

Hi RoverJedi. That is a 2018 Ford Focus and a 1986 Mazda RX7. Thanks for your message

[@BoostedMaverick]

Ah, The RX7 was my first guess but showing pic from video and talking with friends I changed guess...I should have stick with first instinct. Great info by the way. Thanks

[@jonathanoakley88]

would this be similar to a 2023 bronco sport big bend?

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

Pardon the late response. I’m not familiar with the bronco unfortunately, but I believe they do share similar powertrains.

[@FWL3rd]

Where did you get the pump that fits the oil bottle?

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

Hi There. They sell those at any auto parts store, but I got it this particular one from Amazon. amzn.to/3JwnJ7j

[@bilstein2410]

How much did it take to fill it?

[@suunto61]

A tad more than half the bottle.

[@davidmurphy3579]

now you're going to have a leaky drain plug because you didn't reapply that thread sealant.

[@suunto61]

Yep. See FordTechMakuloco on the 2020 Escape.

[@victorlabadia881]

why are you changing it so early?

[@dadsgarage.alwaysopen]

Hi Victor, If your Mav or any new vehicle is a keeper, It’s best to replace fluids early on as it contains the most wear contaminants. I plan to stick with the 30k changes moving forward.

[@BoostedMaverick]

Your diff will definitely last longer with frequent fluid changes. Much cheaper and less inconvenient than a a diff rebuild or replacement

[@angelcruz106]

Lol😂

[@billlink1726]

Measure the amount of fluid you removed.

[@mylove420x]

Left after he/him😢

[@Bulldog44s]

It was a joke. If you can take a joke like that, you should not be working on cars.
