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.

"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
