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.

Lincoln MKT V6-3.7L - Brake Pads Replacement (Rear) - San Antonio, Texas
Nothing short of outstanding. He showed up on time to replace my brake pads (as the inspector yesterday indicated that this was the reason for the grinding noise I was hearing). He answered my questions about what was wrong and how to tell; even showing me the part and how it worked. When he got to the replacing, he found that one of the rotors was badly in need of replacing. At no fault of his own, he didn't have that part, but we were able to run out and get it for him at O'Reily's Auto Parts. He completed all of the work in my garage and then took me for a test drive to be sure that the repair work was completed to my satisfaction. He was very professional and worked efficiently. I had the car serviced just days before with another yourmechanic who really dropped the ball, telling me that my rear brakes were fine, but when we had it reinspected, the second yourmechanic said that the pads were bad and that the first mechanic should have seen this. Yourmechanic remedied the problem so that at least financially it didn't cost me extra, however the resolution itself took a long time with no one returning phone calls from their 1800#.
