★ Top Answer
The recommended rear differential fluid for the 2005 Ford Escape is API category GL-5 and SAE 80w-90 Synthetic Gear lube, like Motorcraft 80w-90 Premium Rear Axle Lubricant. It's advisable to have it replaced at 75,000 miles, but don't wait beyond 100,000 miles to ensure your differential's well-being. Even though the differential fluid isn't treated as frequently as engine oil, it's just as critical. Metal-to-metal contact can wear surfaces, generate heat, weaken gears, and lead to failure. To prevent expensive repairs and maintain your differential's optimal performance, make sure to change the fluid regularly.
