Q: How to check 1999 Ford Crown Vic Differential Fluid?

How do I check the level of the differential fluid on a 1999 Ford Crown Vic base model (i.e., non-luxury, non-police)?

If there's a website with the info, just give me the URL.

Thanks!

With vehicle on flat level surface remove plug. Axle lubricant level is 6-14 mm (1/4-9/16 inch) below the bottom of the fill hole.

If its like most all the other straight axles there should be a filler plug that screws into the pumpkin. They usually have a square "hole" in them that a 3/8" socket drive (or extension) will fit into to remove them. The fluid should be filled to the level of the hole. Check with a screwdriver after you take the plug out. If it seems low, pump more in until it starts to come out the hole.

-- Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts:

"What, sir, is the use of militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. . . Whenever Government means to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise a standing army upon its ruins." -- Debate, U.S. House of Representatives, August 17, 1789
