How often should I come in for Ford Expedition differential service?

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 Ford Expedition, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Ford's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
