If you have to replace the fluid in the rear differential of your Ford F-150, it's a relatively simple task. Locate the two bolts on the differential cover, one on top and one on the bottom. Start by positioning an oil collection pan under the bottom bolt and removing it to let the differential drain completely. Once it's empty, replace the bolt. Next, use a funnel or oil syringe to refill the oil through the top bolt. It typically requires around 1.5 quarts of gear oil to fill it up entirely.

Here's a paraphrased and unique version: "When adding fluid to the rear differential, first locate and remove the fill bolt for the gear oil. Then, use a pump to safely inject the oil into the differential.

Begin by safely elevating the vehicle using a jack stand or ramps. Locate the drain bolt for the differential, loosen it to allow the gear oil to drain completely, which may require some patience. Once drained, reinsert the drain bolt and clean up any spilled gear oil. Next, remove the fill bolt for the gear oil, use a pump to gradually refill the differential. Tighten the fill hole bolt securely and wipe away any excess gear oil.
