Question 1

What’s Included in a Differential Fluid Change Service?

Accepted Answer

Our service starts with a free inspection of your vehicle’s front and rear differential fluid (the liquid that keeps your differential gears and both front and rear axles running smoothly). If the fluid is contaminated or in otherwise poor condition, our technicians will let you decide whether you would like to proceed with a differential fluid change.If you choose to continue, we will carefully replace it in accordance with your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.

Why is Differential Fluid Service Important?

Normal driving exposes differential fluid to high temperatures, which causes the fluid to break down and increase heat and friction between the gears. Changing differential fluid is an often-overlooked scheduled service that, when performed regularly, helps extend the life of your differential gears, ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly.
