Additional Notes

  • The Ford Super De Luxe V8 rear differential carries a fluid capacity of 2.4 liters, which represents a service fill volume typical of a conventional rear axle housing rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • The change interval for the Super De Luxe V8 rear differential fluid is set at 8,000 km, 5,000 miles, or 6 months, whichever comes first, and applies under normal use conditions.
  • The dual expression of the interval in both kilometers and miles reflects the measurement conventions in use across different markets during the 1941-1948 production span.
  • The 6-month time-based interval running alongside the distance-based figures means that low-mileage operation does not extend the service period beyond half a year under normal use conditions.
  • A 2.4-liter rear differential capacity on a V8-powered vehicle of the 1941-1948 era is consistent with the physical size of a solid rear axle assembly designed to handle the torque output of a flathead V8 engine.
