V6/EcoBoost/GT conditional non-synthetic towing axle service
The source describes long periods of trailer towing with outside temperatures above 70°F (21°C), and wide-open-throttle operation for long periods above 45 mph (72 km/h), with non-synthetic axle fluid. For the stated conditions, use whichever limit comes first; confirm their applicability with the servicing technician rather than treating this as a universal towing interval. The manual waives this shortened interval for 75W85 synthetic fluid meeting WSS-M2C942-A (XY-75W85-QL or equivalent), retaining 150,000 miles. Full Traction-Lok refill requires XL-3 (EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent friction modifier. Confirm installed fluid and vehicle towing restrictions.
