Lou Fusz Kia Differential Service in St. Louis

Differential Service at Kia Service Center St. Louis

The differential comprises a series of parts that compensate for the speed difference between the left and right tires during cornering. While lubrication protects these components inside the differential housing and lasts for a while, it will eventually break down and need to be switched out. If the service is delayed and you continue to drive, your differential could wear down to metal-to-metal contact and you could face pricy repairs. It is better to keep up with differential maintenance than to pay for differential replacement or repairs.

When Differential Fluid Should be Replaced

Although differential fluid usually lasts longer than most vehicle fluids, it doesn’t last forever. Most of the time differential fluid is changed between every 30,000-60,000 miles. This is a task best reserved for trained technicians.
