What is the differential fluid service (rear axle oil service) all about?

The differential is a special gear box located between the drive wheels of your vehicle. It allows the drive wheels to turn at different speeds, as they must when turning a corner. Over time, high operating temperatures can cause the lubricating fluid in the differential to break down, developing a gummy texture that doesn't properly lubricate the gears. Replacing the fluid can help you avoid premature wear on the gears in the differential, and can even help reduce wear on drive-wheel tires.

Keep in mind:

Some vehicles do not have a drain plug. In these vehicles, the differential cover must be removed to drain the fluid. A new gasket is installed and the proper amount of oil is then added.

How it's done:

  • Check the fluid level
  • Drain and fill the fluid
  • Add the correct amount and specification of oil
  • Test drive vehicle and check for leaks

Our recommendation:

You should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for when to change the differential fluid. Usually this is anywhere between every 15,000 and every 50,000 miles. However, all of the fluids in your vehicle should be checked during regular maintenance services.

What is a common symptom indicating you need a differential fluid service (rear axle oil service)?

  • Car is louder than normal

How important is this service?

When you turn your vehicle one way or the other, the wheels on one side of the car need to move at a different rate than the wheels on the other side of the car. The differential is a special gearbox that allows your wheels to do exactly that. It is located between the drive wheels, and helps the wheels turn at rates independent of one another. Like most parts of your car, the differential needs fluid to act as lubrication. When this fluid isn’t properly serviced, it can become contaminated. Contaminated differential fluid doesn’t work very well as a lubricant, and so your differential won’t be properly lubricated. This puts extra stress on the differential and wheels.

Honda Accord L4-2.4L - Car is not starting - Broomfield, Colorado
To anyone reading reviews to select a technician, this is the man you want. Do what you can to get on his schedule. Stephen was friendly, professional, and punctual. This was hands-down the best interaction I've ever had in the past 23 years for mechanical services. I would definitely recommend utilizing him for any and all of your automotive needs. He is incredibly knowledgeable and explained exactly what the problem was; that I was unable to properly diagnose on my own. Thank you Stephen and yourmechanic.com for the excellent service!

Honda Accord V6-3.0L - Ignition Coil - Sunnyvale, California
I liked Whitney's focus on me and my problem rather than the car. He helped me solve my problem in a way that fits my budget and still meets my needs. In general i am very distrustful of car mechanics and that makes me very nervous dealing with them. With Whitney i did not feel any stress and i had a very comfortable experience of him troubleshooting and fixing my car.
