Lubricant types and amount for a Ford Maverick

Post by shortgq »

Hi, I want to replace all the oils (except for engine) in my 1990 swb Ford maverick this weekend, but i have never done this before. I want to confirm the amount and viscosities of oil i found on shell and mobil lube recommendations, they are as follows....

manual transmission 3.9 L of 75w/90 oil
rear diff 2.1 L , no viscosity so what would u guys recommend??
front diff 5.4L of 75w/90
transfer case 2.2L of 75w/90

would u guys agree with this and what brand have u found works well in these???

Rear diff 80/140 lsd oil
or if open diff the 75/90 should be ok for normal use.

otherwise about OK.
always buy more than you need and ALWAYS open fill plug 1st.
