WHAT IS CHEVROLET DIFFERENTIAL SERVICE ALL ABOUT?

If you are new to owning a Chevy or any vehicle in general, you may wonder what this service is. Differential service is one of the most underlooked types of work to be done on automobiles. This is because where the differential oil is housed is at the rear of the vehicle, as well as underneath it. This is a component of every car, and it deals with the difference of distance that the inner wheels and outer wheels travel when the vehicle turns a corner. Rear-wheel-drive cars have their own lubrication and housing. Front-drive vehicles usually have differential oil integrated with the transmission housing, and they tend to share fluid as well.

WHY SHOULD I HAVE THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL CHANGED?

It is just as important to change differential oil as it is to change the oil for your car's engine. This is because this oil lubricates pinion and ring gears that send power from the driveshaft to the wheel axles. If your car has a limited-slip differential, it works to keep the moving parts within the assembly healthy. You don't want to go too long without changing out the differential oil since issues can crop up that will make it difficult for you to drive.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T GET THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL CHANGED NOW?

If you wait too long to change out the oil, surfaces can wear down due to the metal-to-metal contact. Since there also will be heat produced from this friction, the gears may weaken and even fail. Then, you will be in for a frustrating time and it can lead to potential accidents or damage to other parts of the car. Who wants to have to keep their car off the road when there is a simple, quick solution?
