Additional Notes

  • The Ford Zephyr Six (1950-1956) and Zephyr Zodiac (1954-1956) share an identical rear differential fluid capacity of 1.42 liters, indicating both variants use the same axle assembly with no variation between the two configurations.
  • A 1,500 km check interval applies to the rear differential under normal use conditions across both the Zephyr Six and Zephyr Zodiac, reflecting the relatively short inspection cycles common to mid-century vehicle maintenance schedules.
  • The fluid change interval for the rear differential is specified at 8,000 km under normal use conditions, a figure that applies equally to the Zephyr Six and the Zephyr Zodiac without distinction between the two models.
  • The 1.42-liter capacity figure represents a service fill level, meaning the quantity of fluid required to bring the differential to its correct operating level during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul or disassembly refill.
