How often will I need Ford Expedition differential service?

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Expedition?

Your Expedition’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Ford, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Expedition and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2017 Ford Expedition to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Ford's recommendations.
