Hi my missus has made the proud owner of a Ford Cargo 0811 horse box. I need to replace the gasket on the diff cover and replace the diff oil.

How much oil does the diff hold
What type of diff oil does it take.

Many thanks in advance

JD many thanks the previous owner put a newer rear axle on it with disc brakes but at least I know what oil to put in it and roughly how much

Various rear axle types and oil capacities (ranges from 6.3 to 22.0 L). Likely that if it's an 0811 it will be 6.3 L but to be sure you would need to state the details from the vehicle identification plate (on passenger side door pillar) - it will give a 2-letter code under "Rear Axle Type". For the lighter Ford axles, the correct oil is SAE 90 EP.
