What is the Differential/Gear Oil all about?

Differential oil is a type of oil. Cars have a gearbox connecting the two axles. This gearbox is responsible for the conversion of engine power and its transmission to the wheels, allowing them to turn at varying speeds. This part of the car is called the differential, and lubrication is needed for it to function properly. Differential fluid, also called differential oil, provides the lubrication and cooling of the car’s differential. The fluid is there to protect the gears’ metal surfaces from friction, and to prevent overheating and burning.

Keep in mind:

  • Some vehicles have a front differential and others have a rear differential.
  • Some vehicles use a synthetic gear oil.

How it's done:

  • Check fluid level.
  • Inspect the rear housing for leaks.
  • Remove the cover (if the differential does not have a drain plug).
  • Install new gasket if needed.
  • Fill with new fluid.

Our recommendation:

Differential oil should be changed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. You should aim to have the gear oil changed every 30,000 miles, but it’s a good idea to have a mechanic check the differential oil during regular maintenance services.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Differential/Gear Oil?

Gear oil is contaminated with metal particles or other substances.

How important is this service?

The differential is responsible for transferring the power from the engine to the transmission and the wheels, and for controlling how much power goes to each wheel. Like many aspects of your vehicle, the differential requires oil to act as lubrication. Differential oil allows the differential to move smoothly and consistently, which allows the vehicle to continue sending power to the wheels. If the differential oil is old, it may be contaminated with debris and metal shavings. This contamination will come into constant contact with the differential, which can cause severe long term damage to the differential.

Ford Crown Victoria V8-4.6L - Oil Change - Palo Alto, California
I had an oil change, filter change, and diagnostic done for my car, and it went decently well. The problems that occurred were understandable, and though they did affect my opinion of the experience, I would probably use the service again if I do have enough time and the price is right. While Whitney was late to the appointment, he made sure to contact me by telephone in order to make sure I knew what his ETA was and why he was late. I wasn't pressed for time so it didn't matter to me that he was late, but I can see how this would negatively affect someone's plans. Outside of that, there was some problem with my address as well, but he was still able to find me eventually. I'm glad that he came to the appointment at least, and though there was a problem with the electronic app when he tried to remove the oil filter, he honored the original price quote and did the work that I had requested for the same price. Because of these few things, I felt that the experience itself could have gone better, but the work was done and he properly diagnosed other problems with my vehicle. I had already gotten some information about my car from another place when I bought it, so it improved my opinion of his trustworthiness as a mechanic when he diagnosed the same things. Having a second quote was helpful, and knowing that someone who has already taken a look at the car would be able to service it again is helpful. Overall, I think Whitney knows what he's doing as a mechanic, and maybe he just had an off day when it comes to scheduling and waking up/being on time. Thanks Whitney, for doing the oil change and filter change for me through yourmechanic.
