Default Just bought an 08' F-350

Just picked up an 08' F350 REG cab, 8' bed. gas 5.4ltr. Will be used for my landscaping company and primary plowing truck.


Just a few questions.

What weight oil you guys using ? How much does it hold ?

I would like to change the oil in both Differentials and the Transfer case . Any one have the print out for viscosity and capacity of all three ? Also going to bring it somewhere to have the trans fluid changed. What Viscosity ?

Also it has power locks but came with no fobs. Will it be compatibly if I purchase a fob for it ?

Thanks
Matt
