Hello MORGANIZER032,

Yes. All Ford limited-slip rear axles require 4oz or 8oz of Friction Modifier Motocraft XL-3 whenever servicing equivalent depending on axle size. I have added an image of the fluid specifications chart depending on axle size as well as a photo of the Motocraft product for you. I would just go to Ford for it personally.

Thank you,
Brendon
