Complete Your 2016 Ford Flex Differential Oil Job with the Right Tools and Parts

When it comes to maintaining or replacing your differential oil, a few related products and tools will definitely come in handy. First off, grab a quality differential oil or gear lubricant that’s suitable for your vehicle make and model—having the right viscosity is key! You’ll also want a gasket or sealant, as well as a new drain plug if yours is looking worn out. Don’t forget a good oil catch pan to gather the old fluid, and a funnel to make pouring the new oil easier. As for tools, a socket set and torque wrench are essential for getting those bolts just right, and a fluid pump can help you refill the diff without spilling everywhere. Finally, always prioritize safety by wearing gloves and goggles to protect yourself from any spills or splashes, and make sure you’re working in a well-ventilated area to avoid any fumes from the oil.
