How to Service and Repair the Differential Cover on Lincoln MKZ?

Service and repair operations on the differential housing cover need to start with a vehicle placement on a hoist in neutral gear. The housing requires 10 bolts for removal before you drain all differential fluid inside. Clean all machined surfaces on the rear axle housing and differential housing cover with brand-new silicone sealant while maintaining protection of the rear axle interior from potential damage. It is necessary to leave the differential vent on the rear cover open without any hindrances. The installation of differential housing cover must happen within 15 minutes after applying clear silicone rubber along the mating surfaces or the technician must start over with new sealant. Secure the installed cover by using 10 bolts and tighten them to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). The rear axle requires 1.15L (2.43 pt) of rear axle lubricant which should reach 3-5 mm (0.118-0.196 in) below the bottom of the filler hole before reinstallation with a torque of 29 Nm (21 lb-ft).
