Whether you drive a car, truck, or SUV, regular differential service ensures your wheels turn efficiently and your drivetrain remains in top condition.

What Is a Differential and Why Is It Important?

The differential is a critical component of your vehicle’s transmission system. It transfers power from the engine to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds, especially crucial when making turns. Without a functioning differential, your vehicle could suffer from tire wear, poor handling, or even drivetrain failure.

Depending on your vehicle’s drivetrain type, the differential is located differently:

• Front-wheel drive vehicles: Inside the transmission assembly.

• Rear-wheel drive vehicles: Between the rear wheels.

Types of Differentials:

• Open Differential:
  Found in economy cars and sedans; allows wheels to rotate at different speeds.

• Locking Differential:
  Common in Jeep Wranglers and trucks; locks wheels together for maximum traction.

• Torque-Vectoring Differential:
  Actively adjusts torque to each wheel for better cornering and handling.

• Limited-Slip Differential:
  Found in performance cars like the Mazda MX-5 Miata and Nissan 370Z; combines traits of open and locking differentials for improved traction.

Why Regular Differential Maintenance Matters

Just like your engine, your differential needs proper lubrication to prevent internal damage. Differential fluid reduces friction between metal parts and keeps everything running smoothly. Over time, fluid can degrade or become contaminated, leading to expensive repairs if not addressed.

Key reasons to schedule a differential service:

• Prevent premature wear and overheating.

• Maintain optimal handling and safety.

• Protect expensive drivetrain components.

• Extend your vehicle’s lifespan and performance.

At Greer Automotive in Ottawa County, we recommend referring to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific service intervals—or better yet, let us send you regular maintenance reminders!
