Additional Notes

  • The Lincoln Versailles 5.0 (302 ci) rear differential holds 2.4 liters of fluid across both the 1977-1978 and 1978-1980 configurations.
  • A 2.4-liter differential capacity is consistent with a conventional rear axle housing of the era, representing a full service fill rather than a partial top-off volume.
  • The 1978 model year appears in both configuration ranges, placing it within a period where the rear differential fluid capacity remained unchanged at 2.4 liters.
  • All listed configurations carry a normal use condition, meaning the 2.4-liter capacity figure applies under standard operating circumstances rather than severe-duty cycles.
