For the diff, you need 1.9L Of Castrol LSX90, for the Auto, minimum of 4L of TQ95. Do NOT under any circumstance use Dextron 3 in a BTR Auto. For the motor, use a 10w 40 or 10w 50 oil. You will need 5 litres.

If you got the $$$, Castrol SAF/X is the better oil for the diff. Fully synthetic, but its a bit more than twice the price per litre of its lesser quality cousins.

Dex 3=firmer shift 95LE=mushy shift dex3 works fine in most ford auto except the new 6 speed items. & 2.5ltr diff is a rough in indication, lets be perfect n in a perfect autobarn they sell 1.9ltr bottle of diff oil, n brand of oil is user preference. Sorry Ford Master technican... psst |

Sorry Ford Master technican... psst Even Castrol have pages on their site explaining why not to use Dex 3 in the BTR's. Dex 3 has issues maintaining quality as the heat rises, because the BTR's run at a high temp. It will work, but to the overall detriment of the auto. And FFS, the diff holds 1.65L. Precisely that qty if the car is on a level surface and filled till it levels out with the filling hole. |

Sorry Ford Master technican... psst 2.5L is 3x1L bottles, 1.9L is only 2x bottles. DEX3 is a sure fire way to kill a BTR.
