dyno Member 5 Member For: 12y 2m 21d Posted 28/05/13 02:32 AM Author Share Posted 28/05/13 02:32 AM No idea when oil was changed. Only had the car a few weeks. Is it a simple DIY oil change on these and what oil should I use?

Someone will chime in I'm sure. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85080-diff-whine-in-fg-f6/#findComment-1393309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordomatic1 Member 50 Member For: 12y 2m 1d Posted 31/05/13 02:19 AM Share Posted 31/05/13 02:19 AM I've got diff whine in my FG xr6t, dealership wont recognise it as a problem so I just deal with it and drive around the sound. Diff specialist told me it's nothing to worry about. His words were, "all fords do it, just turn the music up".
