Differential Service
Benefits of a Differential Service
Protects Your Gears: Fresh differential fluid lubricates internal gears, reducing friction and preventing costly metal-on-metal wear.
Improves Performance: Helps your wheels rotate smoothly during turns, improving traction and overall driving stability.
Prevents Damage & Overheating: Old differential fluid breaks down over time, causing heat buildup and internal wear. A fluid replacement keeps the differential cool and protected.
Extends Drivetrain Life: Regular service prevents premature breakdowns of one of the most expensive components in your vehicle’s drivetrain.
Eliminates Whining or Grinding Noises: Fresh fluid can reduce or eliminate noise caused by worn or contaminated gear oil.
Supports Towing & Heavy Loads: Essential for trucks or SUVs that tow, haul, or drive in rough conditions — those use the differential harder and need clean fluid to stay reliable.
How Often Should It Be Done?
Typically every 30,000–60,000 miles, depending on the vehicle, driving habits, and load.
Towing, off-roading, and heavy use may require more frequent service.
Why It’s Good for Your Car
A differential service is one of the most overlooked maintenance items, but also one of the most important for long-term reliability. Replacing contaminated fluid protects your drivetrain from expensive failures — often costing thousands to repair if ignored.
