Summary
Some 2021-2022 Explorer – Timberline – vehicles may exhibit a rear differential that is venting rear axle fluid. This may result in a noise, odor, or leak noticed by the customer. Inspect the rear of the vehicle for signs of rear differential fluid venting into the rear wheel well, or leaking from the rear differential. If signs of fluid leaks are found from any seals, repair as necessary per Workshop Manual Section 205-02. If no seal leaks are found but fluid is venting, drain the rear differential. Add 85-100 ml of Motorcraft® XL-3 Additive Friction Modifier. Refill with fresh rear differential fluid to bottom of fill plug. Remove the vent tube and use compressed air to verify that the fluid vent tube is clear, then reinstall tube. Engineering investigating, monitor OASIS for updates.

- Inhibits rust and corrosion and also safe for yellow metal
- Extends clutch pack and equipment life
- Reduces differential temperatures
- When added to a conventional viscosity ATF such as Dex/Merc ATF, it will convert it to Mopar ATF+4, Toyota Type T-IV, Honda Z-1, Nissan Matic J, etc.
- When added to a low viscosity ATF such as Dexron VI or Mercon LV, it will convert it to Mercon SP, Dexron HP, Toyota WS, Honda DW-1, Nissan Matic K & S, KIA and Hyundai SP IV ATFs.
- Prevents overheating, Assists in freeing hung-up governors, Keeps valves free
- Provides for smoother shifting and reduces drive train power losses, Helps modify harsh shifts and makes them quicker in duration
- Maintains proper ATF viscosity in torque converters, Inhibits transmission fluid foaming and oxidation, thereby extending fluid life and Reduces transmission wear
- STA-LUBE: Sta-Lube offers a range of high performance greases, gear oils, service oils, fluids, hand cleaners, additives, and lubrication formulas. Highly efficient products have been rigorously tested to meet the highest quality standards.
- FRICTION MODIFIER: Equa-Torque is specially formulated to balance the torque in limited slip differentials by reduce friction.
- BALANCES TORQUE & PREVENTS CLUTCH CHATTER: Equa-Torque improves performance by reducing friction, eliminating noise, and preventing wear.
- APPLICATIONS: The concentrated modifier has a mineral oil base and meets most domestic specifications. Suitable for use in OEM limited slip differential applications.
- PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: Equa-Torque is available in a 4 fl oz tube.
