When should I change my differential fluid?
Posted on 1/3/2019
The fluid in your front and rear differentials is a specific gear oil and should be changed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. The range really depends on how heavy your vehicle is and if and/or how much you tow with your vehicle. The first service should be somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 miles. When the gears are new they give off more metal.
Servicing the fluids in your vehicle more often is never a bad thing. The fluid does break down over time and a fluid service is usually good insurance for the gear and drivetrain of your vehicle to last for years to come.

A brake fluid leak is very bad.
This is a repair you don't want to put off
Stopping is as important if not more important than starting
Coolant is a vital fluid
Catastrophic damage is not normal
A water pump is a vital component
A little maintenance can prevent a big problem
That growling noise is something to watch for.
They can cause a lot of damage
That streaking can lead to bigger problems
