I am having problems with the PTU lube thickening in my 2012 SHO PP. FYI there is a TSB now for this condition that has been kept quiet, # ASI-44333, NHTSA# 10054961.
Good luck everyone. I'll see Monday how much of a problem I'll have with mods being made, but returned to stock for the dealer visit.

I can only imagine with how bad it smelled. It literally made my garage smell for a whole week.

I'd invest in one of those life alert things if I were you...lol ;)

Hey Folks
Ford is replacing my PTU under warranty, they say once the fluid thickens like whipped cream the unit is done!!  I have it on the sly to change fluid every 10,000 miles MAX. Depending on the use/abuse you give it.  You can use a vacuum pump available for commercial use on the internet for about $100 and it has enough suction to remove the oil as long as it is still oil! We use one in our shop all the time.
As a bonus, my steering rack has been replaced today, new leather seat cover being replaced, interior door handles on recall and minor rust spot in truck being fixed, all under warranty. Complete with a rental at N/C.  I guess I'll see my SHO in a couple weeks.

UH, alpine_jack, you have industrial mouth wash?  That stuff is nasty!

fast... thanks for the PTU oil change info! 

Anyone know how big the vent is where the tubing has to go to extract the oil?

Awesome to here that your getting a lot replaced under warranty.  Sounds like FORD is finally seeing the light about the fluid in the PTU's.

Hey there BIG
There is an access plug on pass side,behind wheel and two feet in, it is about 3/4" hole.  My shop uses a Mity VAC evacuation pump that holds about a gallon of fluid. It has plenty of suction with about 3ft each of multiple size tubing. You can purchase on EBAY or online tool companies for $90. We use on diesel oil, 50 weight oil 80/90 and 75/140 synthetic gear oils in commercial trucks where rear end drain plugs may be damaged and we just pump it out from fill plug. Works great, even use it for fuels.
