I don’t think they’re doing it on purpose. Prob done manually. Too quickly it seems. Perhaps they come from the component manufacturer filled.

I read that some were finding ptu underfilled and took it upon my self to check the tranny, ptu and rdu myself. Dealer kind of giving me a barely Luke warm feeling now. I’m not confident. Apparently they don’t do oil analysis, they just look at the oil and for any metal debris and chase faults...

Nope!

I just got quoted $800

Nothing was acting up. I heard about the PTU’s being underfilled from the factory. I then deciphered the writing on the wall and changed all the fluids in the PTU, RDU and trans. I’m not encouraging or discouraging. I’m am recommending actions based on my investigations. Let me reiterate this...

i found my transmission approximately 1 quart low. About 16% low. No leaks detected. At 5900 miles. No good at all.

I understand. The issue is not the oil. It’s the low level I found in my PTU, not having a break-in interval and possibly the quality of the materials & manufacturing tolerances of the PTU & to a lesser degree the RDU.

Your ? Is confusing.

How much was drained? That’s one of the overall issues. What’s filled at the factory being way less than full. (For the PTU)

Those are the manufacture recommended. And what I filled with.

The PTU is not always engaged in the FX4 when in normal mode, https://driving.ca/features/feature-story/deep-dive-2022-ford-mavericks-awd-system-explained

I’m not sure. I believe the PTU is on/off and the rdu is slip.

I found my transmission about a quart low as well.

It's supposed to be there. The procedure it to undo the spring clamp and remove the vent tube to fill trans. Mine had the restrictor as well.

Who’s a worry wort specifically?

Hmm…I could be wrong. My apologies. What he saying seems reasonable. However, something made the fluid change color. What? I’m guessing use and heat.

Additionally. The color does say something about the condition of the tranny fluid. Do the research. Just like motor oil. It changes color during use. 1 of the primary elements that make motor oil dark is soot. Even after several oil changes. The oil darkens. At this point what ever materials or...

Power transfer unit (fwd end of drive line) & rear differential unit (in the middle of rear wheels)

Thank you dadola! I swear. I did. I emptied my PTU straight into a glass measuring cup. And everyone. Think of it this way. How concern would you be if your 2.0 EB engine was half full the whole time to 6000 miles? I won’t tell you how I would feel or what I think the ramifications would be to...

I just stated that those are the “universal averages”. That’s what those columns are.
