      Differential General Service with information about the need to perform

      Timely Differential General Service addresses and prevents a number of issues related to one of the key components of a vehicle's transmission - the differential:

      • Wear of Parts: Over time, gears, bearings, and other parts of the differential can wear out. Regular oil changes and inspections help minimize this wear.
      • Overheating of Differential Components: Insufficient lubrication can lead to overheating of the differential, which accelerates wear and can lead to failure.
      • Oil Leaks: Leaks can lead to insufficient lubrication, increasing the risk of differential damage. Checking for leaks and replacing seals helps prevent this.
      • Noise and Unusual Sounds: Worn bearings or gears can create noise or humming during movement. Maintenance helps detect and fix these issues.
      • Reducing the Risk of Costly Repairs: Early detection and repair of minor issues in the differential can prevent serious and expensive breakdowns in the future.

      Regular differential maintenance contributes to the overall reliability of the vehicle, extends its service life, and ensures smoother and more efficient driving.
