Amsoil 75w85

[Piercerich9]

Has anybody used this on their PB yet? Seems significantly cheaper than the motorcraft stuff.

Used all amsoil products in my last truck, but don't know how picky these new trucks are.

That's what I use in the axles.

I think most people, including myself just use the more commonly available 75W-90.

AMSOIL 75w-90 is what I used.

Have you really gotten to 150,000 miles? Isn't that the change interval per the manual?

This shit again?

Not from me. I have driven trucks for 25 years, always two wheel drive. Ford in their infinite wisdom has dictated that I must get a 4 wheel drive if I want a hybrid. Just wondering if this is a thing, or if it is similar to oil change discussions.

No, I changed oil & lube early.

Whats the verdict on Ford denying a warranty claim since its not an approved oil in the workshop manual? I have a bunch of AMSOIL 75w-90 I would like to use and document for warranty purposes but its not the approved 75W-85.

Dunno…….but the brand difference isn’t going to be an issue. But that’s your call.

*** I did have a mistype, the fluid I used from AMSOIL is actually 75w85 not 75w90 as I thought. Another good idea to keep records and receipts.

Honestly, in the last 42 years of operating vehicles, I’ve never had a differential issue that I didn’t directly cause. No gear or bearing failures due to wear or lube failure.

Unless a factual showing of warranty refusal is at hand, I cannot believe use of AmsOil 75W-85, or any other name brand gear lube, would bring on a warranty refusal.

Just serviced my rear diff today using amsoil 75w85

The recommendation by Ford is to change this out every 150,000 miles. No reason for a light duty pickup to worry much about whether the Ford or a third party product is better. With the OEM product there are no worries about damage to the seals.
