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.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera V6-3.0L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Denver, Colorado
Scott is beyond exceptional - this is the second time he has worked on my vehicle. We had one of the worst blizzards in years but he kept his appointment with me and got the job done despite the adverse weather conditions. This level of service is almost unheard of in this day and age and he did an excellent job which shows his high level of experience. He was on time, too and he really went above and beyond in keeping the appointment and the work on the vehicle. He is really excellent in his work ethics, promptness and his work. Thank you Scott for another wonderful experience. I so appreciate everything!

Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera V6-3.3L - Car is not starting - Orlando, Florida
James arrived on time and was extremely courteous, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. this is my first experience with Your Mechanic and I will not hesitate to use them again. I highly recommend Your Mechanic based on just my first experience with them, their booking process is a bit muddled and confusing as well as their copious, confusing emails, but nothing is perfect, hopefully they will continue to improve in that less essential area,
