Hi, everyone. Sue here at 1AAuto, and today I'm going to show you how to check your rear diff fluid on a 2011 F150 Eco Boost. You need any parts of your car? Click on the link below and head on over to 1aaauto.com.
The rear diff check and fill plug is located on the driver's side of the differential housing. And it's a 3/8 inch drive extension or ratchet. And just pull it down. This plug should have a magnet tip on it to show you if there's any metal. That is what we call minimal wear and tear. That's normal.
So now to check the fluid level, I put my pinky, and you can't because it's a limited slip. So there's a gear right here. So you really can't go down far, but I'm already pushing fluid out so that's perfect level. It's not pouring out. When I take the cap off, just dripping out.
Clean the plug, and you can put it back in. Tighten it up.
