I’d like to know where you saw that information.Dana (transaxle manufacturer) specifically mentions our diff is designed to use synthetic. Guess what's going in when I get 'round tuit.

Well darn it. All I find specific are PDFs and Ford doesn't list synthetic for 5th generation Rangers, just their premium lube.I’d like to know where you saw that information.
Hi John,Well darn it. All I find specific are PDFs and Ford doesn't list synthetic for 5th generation Rangers, just their premium lube.
Apart from Gale Banks advocating for it and every oil manufacturer offering synthetic options all I could find was a YouTube video from SEMA from Spicer talking about the new Advantec diff and it's compatibility with synthetic... only they don't explicitly say 4WD or RWD... although with Jeeps I imagine it's 4x4.
Heck, there might be a distinction between locking differentials and non for lube selection.
I can't imagine it's a negative to switch up apart from the cost. Best of all worlds would be my goal. I doubt (as others said) I'm going to recover the cost difference in fuel savings. Reducing wear whether daily driving, loading the bed or towing and long distance trips would be my concern. I'm still in the dark about heat issues, if there really is any.
220dumb question but i want to get an ARB rear diff cover but anyone know what axle i have 2021 xlt sport with FX4 package is it a dana 200 or a Dana 220
thanks for any help
Here you go"I don't have an owners manual in my truck I discovered. They did a dealer trade and I guess they forgot to put the owners manual in the glove box. So I need to get over to the stealership and get them to order me a manual. Thanks for posting up the fluid capacities.
I used Redline for my diffs and transfer case.The only synthetic axle lube I've found that meets the owner's manual Ford Spec WSP-M2C197-A is Redline 75w-90. Unlike older Rangers, the Gen 5's have drain plugs on both axles so it's not terribly difficult to do yourself.
Also Redline D6 ATF meets Ford Spec WSS-M2C938-A for transfer case lube.
As per Redline's website. www.redlineoil.com
I'm not shilling for Redline and I'm not saying that's all there is, but that's all I've found.
Carry on.
