FordTechMakuloco This doesn't tie in directly with this topic but was wondering how reliable is the na 3.5 duratec you get with vehicles like the base explorer?
Stinky Cheese I presume you're talking to me?Yeah heard they also beefed up the 6 speed auto for the 2016 refresh so that should be far more reliable as well.
A little off subject but why is my NP205 Transfer case (running 80-90 weight gear oil) so very hot to touch after just driving around in 2 hi. Its in my 1976 f-150 XLT with a 300ci straight six, standard 4 speed transmission, 4x4.
@FordTechMakuloco I tried running a Google search on LV in transfer cases and can't find any info on the Ford approval. Is this something that happened recently? I trust you 110%, it's just kind of odd to me that there isn't more information out there about it. Appreciate all you do and keep the videos coming brother.
Ended up finally finding some info. Of course you were spot on my man. Thanks for all you do for the Ford community.
Brian I want to thank you for all the work you did on my F350. All the fluids in my truck were from the factory and the dealership told me they did not need to change out all of these fluids. After watching your videos and also talking to you I will bring this truck back to you for anything that is not covered by warranty for repairs. Again thank you and your family for being so awesome I look forward to see more your videos. If anyone is in the Chicagoland area and has a Ford this is the man you need to see for any repair.
Thanks!
your lucky! I wish he was in the Houston area. I have 3 fords that need work
toolbox902 I know, it is hard to find someone as good as him.
Maybe he'll do a fixing fords across america again and you'll be one of the lucky ones
that would be great!
A real mechanic, honest too.Very hard combination to find these days.
Nice job once again. Thanks to you I have saved THOUSANDS repairing my Expedition and my son's F150.
Repair of what? He just changed oil
@@kennyplay5982 he has a lot more videos.
Great tips, I would add one thing. When complete and after road test/leakage check I would put a dab of grease inside the hex wrench well. The next time you change fluid there would not be buildup in well and if there is some debris it will come out easier. Great job though.
The flexible hose from a DEF container works perfectly to use as a fill tube
I watched you ur video last night and changed the transfer case oil in my 2014 F150 without a problem. Your videos are very good!!!! Thanks so much.
Did you use a torque wrench? I've been looking everywhere and I can't for the life of me find what the torque spec is for the transfer case in the 2014.
It’s stamped on the T-case
@toddjamison77 just get it snug, and then ⅛ turn. Usually works for me
I have same vehicle what kind of sealant do you put on plugs before tightening
You have once again saved me hundreds of dollars on repairs. I am so glad I am subscribed to this channel!! I have been watching for years and when I repair my 2012 f150 I always come to you for tips and tricks on how to do things properly and not grenade my drivetrain. Thanks again!
Choking up on the wrench to prevent a problem is a great tip!
Maybe if you are a real novice
@@brentbradley6711 or if you're a pro...
Can't understand how anybody could dislike this video....
I just did this last week after watching other videos on the procedure. They didn’t mention needfor thread sealer or that torque could crack case. Luckily I used a small ratchet and took it easy. No thread sealer but no leaks so far.
Daniel Loerzel
I think it’s fine or The white Teflon tape. Just to seal it better
Wow I was going to pay a shop to do this ... This is my project this weekend! Thanks you saved me some cash
Super easy. Did mine on my 2010 xlt. Was done in about fifteen minutes thanks to this video! Cheers.
Today at the Ford dealership parts dept, they gave me Mercon V bottles for my transfer case fluid. Thanks to you, I refused them, explaining I saw a Ford mechanic on You Tube advise against it.
Parts guy did not know.
But again thanks to you, he found the right fluid. Really appreciate you doing these helpful videos.
LOL Mercon V will work just fine in a transfer case. Mercon V supercedes the Mercon 4 and 3. You just can't mix Mercon V with other fluids...so if you drain a transfer case that had Mercon 3 for example you can fill it back up with Mercon V. Mercon V is synthetic, Mercon 4 and lower are conventional ATF. Mercon LV is low viscosity fluid used in a lot of the newer transmissions and PTU's.
@@wildbill23c Yeah, I can't imagine Mercon V would damage a simple chain drive transfer case.
I just changed my Expedition 4x4 transfer case last week. It needs 2 quarts but I couldn't get all 2 quarts in. There was 4oz left in the bottle. The ground was not perfectly level. It was the best I could do. All I could find to put in was Mobile 1 ATF. So far nothing is leaking so I called it good.
Yeah they don't take much at all very cheap maintenance.
Thanks so much for this video! Just did my 30k transfer case fluid exchange. Took me 20 minutes and only $35 in supplies (including pump and thread sealer).
Great video but when draining you should always pump in a little new fluid to push out old fluid so you can have a clean case than pump rest of new fluid in till it's full.
Thank you Brian. Ordered my supplies with you links for my 2015 F350 with 32k miles.
Well I know what I'm doin this weekend!!!!
thanx a billion!!!!
Another class well done. Just bought a 2008 f150 4x4 and I'm doing all kind of work to it following your videos procedure. Thank you
Thanks for providing such informative and clear videos. I knew a little about basic maintenance but have learned a lot watching your videos. Rock on!
I got tired of the humming while in 4x4 so I drained out my tcase and refilled with 75w90 gear oil, works great and no more humming.
my general rule when tightening drain plugs is to lightly snug em up and check for leaks.. cause in my option id rather have it weep out a bit and then snug it up a bit more rather than splitting the case as he mentions in the video.. ive split a casing before and it doesn't take much. ...
Another great video and appreciate the upload Brian! I did my front diff & transfer case fluids today.... BUT 5 quarts came out of my T-Case😵. I bought my 02' f250 4x4 5.4l in late 04' with 46k. I then had all the fluids changed for piece of mind shortly after. It didn't even take 2 qts b4 it started flowing out the fill hole. I'm writing this hesitantly because I'm in disbelief about it and I watched as my oil pan quickly filled past the 5-quart mark
Your trans is leaking into your transfer case. I have an entire video dedicated to this.
@@FordTechMakuloco Thx for the quick reply & I'll be checking it soon.... Thanks Again!
You can also take the top off a gear oil container and put on the transfer fluid and squeeze it in there
Always loved these big trucks my wife and i just bought one 1997 ...needs alot of work but nice straight truck :) Thank You very much for all your hard work and of cores the videos man!! :)
Great vedeo and great explanation 👍 I have a excursión 7.3 and I used a ATF dexron 4 fluid 😊 and every 50.000kms! I changed and still working like new 👌👍 cheers from Norway
Just halfway through the job, thanks for the video.Worst part is my beauty cover lol.
Your videos are a wealth of information as I am new this line of vehicles. Thank you very much!!
Your video was perfect. Thanks for letting us know what type of fluid to use. Like your way of tightening the bolts w out a torque wrench.
Again excellent video!
Thank you Brian I was gonna put the Mercon in my 05 Explorer xlt transfer case your the best Bro
Bro thank u for this video I was about to use mercon V cuase that's what the Orylies guys said it used but he was wrong big time! And everytime I do something to my for 2000 expedition 4x4 5.4l I UA-cam that shit. I believe u saved its transfer case life 😁
Great tip on the hand position on the ratchet if you don't use a torque wrench! Great video as always...
My 2011 F-250 took a little OVER two quarts, as the video says. The owners manual says 2.0 quarts, but I recommend buying 3 quarts or you won’t have quite enough.
Man I just want to say thank you for all your videos. They are supper helpful. You’re my go to guy when I have a project on my F-150.
133 lb-in for the f150s drain and fill plug
also the service manual says you should fill till 10mm below the top fill plug...1.4qt total.
LMAO! thank you.. i know he says 'torque spec is critical!' then doesnt give torque spec.... :/
OCD may be kicking in, but I typically push a pint of new fluid into the fill hole, after drainage, thinking I’m pushing out older fluid and grime out.
We do that sometimes when it’s dark enough
Thanks very much for the excellent video.
If I may, I'd like to mention that it would've been great if you'd begun the video showing exactly where the transfer case is located on the vehicle and the orientation of the case as seen in the video. To non-mechanics it might be challenging to determine where the transfer case is located.
I didn’t know I should do this maintenance. Thanks for the video. The job was easy.
Great HD quality vid. That area is a tight space.
I just picked up an older '82 F-150 four wheel drive and you have tons of great content! Just wanted to say thanks, keep it up..:)
On every car I do. I like to loosen the fill plug to the last one or two threads. Remove the drain plug and then remove the fill right after so it's easier to "catch" the fluid coming out.
I like to remove the fill plug completely first to see the exact level that has been inside this whole time as shown here the level was perfect this tells me allot like the fact it was filled correctly, it has not lost any fluid and it is not gaining fluid from a cross leak between the transmission and transfer case so just by pulling the fill plug first you can get a ton of information.
Very good point! I work on Acuras and we don't have that issue but I will get in the habit of doing the fill plug first.
New subscriber! So stoked to have this awesome resource! You are a wonderful teacher and articulate these procedures so well! Thank you
Thank you sir for this. Very helpful. I'm normally leery of over tightening but I would not have thought about splitting the cast transfer case. All though the procedure is pretty straight forward, That tip was huge for me.........thanks.
I need to do this soon. Thanks for the reminder. Another great video!
For you first timers doing this project, please note this video demonstrated some "best practices" that should become habit when doing fluid changes on a vehicle's driveline:
1. Always remove the fill plug first! You don't want to remove the drain plug and drain the transfer case only to discover you can't remove the fill plug.
2. Use a thread sealant (the plug will require less torque to seal properly).
3. Choke up on the ratchet handle to avoid over tightening (trust the sealant).
4. Use brake cleaner to tidy up. Why? Because if you leave the area clean, it's easier to find leaks later...
Thank you for the reply. And yes it is a standard 14mmx1.25 thread but the hole has a shoulder first then the threads that makes the short threads on the compression fitting useless. Thanks anyway.
+STREETSTANG07 oh ok I thought you had a kit they come with short ones and long
Thanks again...your videos are tops...
Great vids my man, you are the go to Ford tech for me on youtube.
Save a few gear fluid bottle lids, the pointy ones. Cut them at different distances for varying hole sizes. Use them on top of your 1 liter fluid bottles as a filler tip. Can put clear nylon tube on them as well. Squeezable for forcing fluids upwards too.
The uncut lid and their little covering tips make good hose and line plugs/caps as well.
Stay gold.
I do all that, too. Just saying, do like dnl
Another Great Video! Thanks Bruddah! I have three of those quart pumps. One each for Trans oil fill, regular oil fill and lastly one for my hand cleaner. Bruddah, here is a Tips & Tricks idea for you.
I've found from many years of working with pipes and fittings and such that it is easy to overtighten NPT threads to the point that they will cut new threads into the metal, especially soft metal like aluminum that they are screwed in to.
Reason being is most all pipe threads under 2 inch are tapered and after repeated tightening, especially over tightening, the plugs will actually start cutting new threads (steel plug vs aluminum housings) into what you're putting the fitting in and also over time wear down the threads on the fittings you're installing.
This is why you'll notice that the plug went in a little more then when you removed the plug. Best to replace the pipe plug when the top of the plug goes into the housing or before. In the past I've had to make a larger plug hole and use a larger plug.
I would suggest making an adapter with an o-ring seal and straight machine threads that screws into an adapter with pipe threads on one end and straight machine threads on the other end. The adapter fitting cost less than $10 and it extends the plug drain hole out a little more to clear the housing,
The old oil now drains right into the bucket without getting oil all over the housings, frame, your floor and what not. Bottom line - no more mess and you have a solid seal for years. I've done this many times and for $.15 cents I change out the plug's O-Ring maybe every five years or whenever it needs it.
Very good info I am always weary of cracking the housing when using pipe plugs anywhere whether it is automotive or construction work.
liquid teflon is the best lubricating sealant that I know of. It should always be put on so it isn't on the first and last two threads of the plug. This so it won't drip or fall into the housing and mix with the fluids.
When the fitting top is close to the housing when tightened it's past time to replace.
Usually on pipe threaded fittings I only put it on the middle of the cleaned threads. New NPT fittings seal at 3/4" of it's length. Any more than that i'd be looking for a new plug or a new idea.
Great Video by a Real Professional. Thank you
Thanks Brian for your efforts to share your knowledge.
Thank you for doing this video. I followed your examples and the job went very well.
Very informative videos.
I have a 2004 f150 5.4 ,3 valve
Followed your video for the fluid change for the t case.
I removed the top plug and about 1.5 quarts poured out.
I drained almost 4 quarts
John Lacaria maybe your transmission is leaking in to the transfer case he said
Your videos are awesome, thanks so much for them!!
Awesome. Thanks for your experience & expertise. I have to do this on my F250.
It was easy removing transfer case. Now I'm having a hard time putting it back 2 days struggling with it
Great video for all to watch. Thank you.
nice how-to video enjoy you other ford related vids keep'em coming. just picked up a 2010 explorer so these are great help.
Thanks and there are plenty more to come!
very kwel thanks
Mike Blezien kewl
I too have a 2010 explorer 4x4 this video was spot on. I always appreciate a video from Makuloco.
Very good instructions, thank you!👍
looks like an easy job, I'll prob give it a go on my Excursion soon.
Mercon LV is the same as what my 2009 Ford Expedition -80 Transmission takes also! Sweet!
Mercon LV is different than Mercon V. Mercon LV is low viscosity ATF, Mercon V is just synthetic ATV which supercedes Mercon IV, and Mercon III.
Terrific job explaining everything!
Thanks so much @FordTechMakuloco, great videos and advise!
Question regarding the correct transfer case fluid to use on a 2011 F150 ecoboost:
I went to one of my local Ford dealers to get the XL12 for my transfer case and they said that back on 2022 Ford discontinued the XL12 and only the Mercon LV is available now. I am confused because my owners manual indicates to use XL12 and if I got it right you in your video say no to use Mercon .
What should I do?
Thanks,
confused Canuck
This fluid needs changed.........AHHHHHHHHHHH! I guess i know what I'm doing next weekend 😧
Another great video, easy to follow directions/instructions to make sure you can do the job yourself. Thanks makuloco
I assume this would be pretty much the same thing on a 2019 4x4 Ford Ranger, yes? I mean, the Ranger is 2 years newer than this video, but how much could they have changed, really? Does anyone know for sure?
Ive watched three videos on F150 transfer case fluid change out. Nobody mentions torque specs for drain and fill plugs!😢
I love spraying sh down with brake clean when I'm done 👌
The bolts that hold the shield plate on the 2017 F350 do not attempt to take off. The other end nut will spin and there is no way to keep the nut from spinning. I now have a bolt I cannot tighten. Leave the skid plate on
Awesome bud I’m servicing my 4x4 expedition
Damn, I just did the rear differential, now I gotta do the transfer case?
You can send it to the dealership 🤑
So, on level ground with a stock suspension? My driveway has a slight slope. What to do if the truck is “leveled” with jacked up front suspension? I’m guessing it isn’t critical but inquiring minds…
Today is March 12,2018 I just got home from Ford. They told me Transfer Case Fluid has now been discontinued, and they now recommend Mercon V.
I'm at Canada, Ontario.
No they are wrong, they are misinformed and trying to push the fluid on hand I know how they work.
FordTechMakuloco
I would you are right.
If this was the case I'm sure motorcraft would update their website.
I went on motorcraft website, under lubricants, transmission, Mercon V it says do not use in transfer case.
I called ford Canada and they couldn't help me either.
I'm going back to ford tomorrow, this is crazy!
As of 2020 ford has recommended mercon LV for transfer case fluid no?
yes
Thank you Scotty 😀 another great video
Would it be a good idea to pump new fluid in top until clean fluid came out drain before plugging? Seems like it would be more effective.
You certainly can but generally there isn't much in the sump, it's not like an engine oil pan for example.
Ok, so after reading the case could stress crack much later if over tightening the plugs, I went out and loosened them quite a bit, then retightened the drain plug with 2 fingers midway up the ratchet. There’s old threadsealer still on the plug doing its job. No leaks so far.
Can you please confirm the link to the transfer case oil shows automatic transmission fluid is that the correct fluid to use in the transfer case. it's not the same bottle that you show in your video.... please confirm...thank you for all you do
Yes, Mercon LV is the new fluid as explained in the description for the link.
Thank you... you're the man
Thanks for the vid, worked great on my 94 Bronco’s borg warner 1356
How much oil Ned to put in
Brain. THANKS AGAIN! You are the man!
Make sure you remove the fill plug first before you drain. It’s pain when you remove the drain plug and can’t get the fill plug out to refill. Knowing the fill plug is stuck means you can put off the repair until you can get the fill plug out.
Have you ever seen a stuck fill plug on a Ford transfer case?
@@FordTechMakuloco love your channel. Unfortunately I’ve seen stuck plugs on axles, transfer cases, and transmissions on many makes and models of cars, trucks, tractors, etc. Checking the fill plug is easy and keeps the vehicle usable until the plugs are able to be loosened. I have had to weld socket reducers on to get them loose. Over tightening and corrosion take their toll.
Would this be the same procedure for a 2000 5.4l expedition 4x4 ?
Need to do this to my 2011 f150 platinum. T case and the trans.
Any videos or tips for repeat 4x4 transfer case rear output seal leak. Started immediately after trans shop pulled tranny for front end tranny leak. They have changed seal twice since and still leaking!! Thanks for all the great videos!
ALL our CANADIAN Ford Parts says the MERCON LV (tranny fluid) has superseded the old CL12 (your XL12). I purchased the old CL12 for the last TC change back in 2017.
Yup it sure has.
So my owner's manual calls for XL-12 for 2015 F150, electronic shift on the fly 4X4(it doesn't have 4A). My local dealer gave me mercon LV and says it's a new replacement. I know there was a comment that said he found this somewhere in the web. can you tell me where to find this info?
Not sure what you are referring to but yes Mercon LV is the new transfer case fluid to be used in all transfer cases from now on.
@@FordTechMakuloco Tnx
I gotta tell ya I did the transfer case fluid change on my 2016 with 28000 miles which about half is towing our 7000lb camper. This is the 1st time I have ever done this procedure. You had me concerned. The fluid that came out looked new me. Pretty much same color as what I put in. Took less than 2 quarts. I won't change that out again until another 50000 miles.
Now I'm wondering if I need to change the fluid in the rear diff this soon.
Motorcraft X-12 transfer case fluid was just surplus, rebottled Ford Mercon ATF sold by Motorcraft at the stealerships. Now, they have exhausted the supply and the recommendation is MC Mercon LV ? What ?
Been running Valvoline Ford Licensed Mercon V in my 1997 F 150 transfer case for nearly 30K miles now and hasn't blown up yet. So what's up with that ?
All about money sounds like to me.
Makuloco. means makes u crazy in Spanish. Which is true with ur kind of work.
This is very true in some situations you can't imagine what the engineers were thinking.
Thanks to your wonderful video I just did mine. However it took almost 2 1/2 quarts before I started to get any outflow from the fill hole. I also appreciate your advice regarding how to tighten those bolts without a torque wrench.
What model truck do you have that took 2-1/2 quarts? I have a 2010 F150 and need to do a change. Wondering if 2-1/2 is normal? Stuff is not cheap.
Alan, sorry it’s taken me so long to reply. I have a 2013 F350 . I kept adding until a little bit dribbled out indicating the fluid level had reached the opening. I cleaned up my mess and put the fill bolt back in. When I looked it was approximately 2 1/2 quarts.
@@kevinbutler5491 Good to know. I am doing mine and bought 3 Qts to be safe and the stuff is not cheap. I ended up getting it on eBay. Was cheaper than Amazon and the bottle looked the same as what he uses in the video.
I really appreciate your videos. I'm learning a lot on how to work on my 04 f150 4x4. I am confused however. I called my local Ford dealership with the last 8 of vin 4NC62257, and they said to use Mercon V. but your video says it will destroy my transfer case. sidenote* my transfer case has the mechanical 4x4 shifter and not the electric button on the dash... Any thoughts? Thanks again!
Be prepared. My 2016 F-350 took about 2 1/3 quarts, not 2. Not that it matters, but it looks like Ford used teflon pipe tape on the plugs, not high temperature sealant, but I used the sealant recommended here.
Love your videos…lots of valuable info…I’d add one thing, get it to operating temperature so fluid flows more quickly and contaminants will be drained more easily and completely
Absolutely not needed with that size drain hole and the viscosity of trans fluid. Maintain the fluid every 30k miles and you will never have built of sediment in the bottom of the case.
I"m confused. You're links go to Mercon LV but you say only use Motorcraft Transfer Case Fluid XL12. Are they the same thing??? Thanks
XL12 was discontinued around 2019 with Ford's recommendation to use Mercon LV instead. There are still stocks of XL12 around; but why pay more?

The rear end of my 2000 Explorer is "whining".. I've never messed with one. I need a video on checking, changing that fluid!
Bearing and ring gear wear are very common they need to be replaced by a professional though the case needs to be spread to be serviced.
Does the vehicle need to be level to get a legitimate indication that the transfer case is filled to the correct level?
yes
Which fluid is now the one to use based on current guidance? It looks like the actual transfer case fluid isn't being used anymore and they're back to recommending Mercon, just now the LV? Thanks
Mercon LV is the current spec.
@@FordTechMakuloco awesome, thanks so much for the reply. i can't tell you how helpful your videos are and how thankful i am for everything you do for all of us!
Uncommon item in video: PTFE Thread Sealant.
I forget the name everytime you say it. O Reilly sure aint got it 😅
More great info, thanks.
The underside of that 6.7 looks fairly rough, northern truck or not. I guess I forget the 6.7's have been out 6 years now
