The unit is water cooled on the PP, I believe, which doesn't necessitate additional capacity.
Same ridiculously low quantity throughout.
The Flex guys have issues with their PTUs as well, right?

I just got quoted $200.00 (Ford dealer) for PTU change/service. What is everyone else paying?
Hey 68 I was under there last night also and it should be on the pass side of the PTU. I'll be honest I couldn't find it also lol. I did locate it easily on our Explorer (pass side about half way up the case). There is a write up with pics but it didn't help me when I was under the car. Maybe someone else that has done it on a PP can shed some light.

shoot no..... not until the fill is located.
I might just thrown in the town and pay the deal for it. Stinks to pay an extra $100 becasue I can't figure out how, or where to refill it !!!!!
the fluid change might be easier if I just took out the pass side down pipe maybe the turbo and maybe the CV axel, and several other things I have not clue what they are. It's crazy in there.

68gt be VERY careful with your car on ramps like that. It could easily roll backwards and fall off the ramps. Even with the emergency brake on.
Park another car behind yours pretty close just Incase it does decide to roll backwards.

I don't get under my cars much at all whille on stands period now days I only put it like that to get the car basically level with the front tires off in hopes that I could get the PTU fluid level to drain / fill. When I get partially under, or reach under etc I never touch the car, or wrench while under it, or let anyone touch the car. I also keep my big floor jack under there not pushing up, but just up to the car for extra holding. And of course yes the e-brake is on. I only planned on looking around in the wheel well, so I give up. Thanks for looking out !
