Differential & Transfer Case Services

1. Vehicle Exceeds Gear Oil Service Interval
   All vehicles come with a maintenance schedule for its fluids and filters based on mileage. If the vehicle has exceeded the recommended mileage for service of the gear or differential oil, it is highly recommended to have it changed. Old oil may not provide the same level of protection as clean, fresh oil.
   
   
2. Whining Differential or Transmission
   One of the symptoms most commonly associated with bad or failing differential or gear oil is a noisy transmission or differential. If the gear oil runs low or becomes excessively dirty, it can cause the gears to whine or howl as they turn. The whining or howling is caused by a lack of lubrication and may increase in volume as vehicle speed increases. A howling or whining differential or transmission should be inspected as soon as possible in order to prevent the possibility of serious damage.
3. Gearbox/Transmission
   A jerking transmission can be caused by a number of potentially expensive issues, it can also be another sign of low gear oil level. The differential or gear oil may be in need of replacement after reaching levels too low for proper operation of the transmission. Check your transmission fluid levels to see if the reservoir is too low and causing gears to grind and slip.
4. Burning smell from Gearbox or Differential
   A burning smell from your differential or gearbox is another sign you need differential oil. The smell may be coming from oil leaking out of an old seal – you may even notice a reddish stain under your car’s parking spot. The burning smell might also be a result of an overheating gearbox from poor lubrication. Old oil cannot lubricate moving parts properly, causing the metal components to burn oil from the high temperature. 

Our certified technicians can perform this service in the same amount of time it takes to get your oil changed. Plus, you could save between 20% to 50% versus the dealership.
