Differential & Transfer Case Service – Burien Auto Lube
Differential & Transfer Case Service
Share Post :
Your differential and transfer case use gear oil to keep power flowing smoothly to your wheels. Over time this fluid breaks down, gets dirty, and stops protecting your gears. Our service drains the old fluid and refills it with fresh, manufacturer-spec gear oil.
Why It Matters?
- Prevents Gear Damage: Clean fluid reduces friction and heat, so your drivetrain lasts longer
- Smoother Driving: Fresh fluid cuts down on noise, vibration, and clunky shifting
- Avoids Costly Repairs: Replacing fluid is cheap compared to rebuilding a differential or transfer case
- Better Traction: Especially important for 4WD and AWD vehicles in rain, snow, and rough roads
Signs You Need This Service
- Whining, humming, or clunking noise from under the car
- Difficulty turning or 4WD not engaging properly Fluid leaks under the vehicle
- Over 30,000–60,000 miles since last service
Our Process
We inspect for leaks, drain the old gear oil, clean the drain plug, and refill with the correct fluid for your vehicle. Most services are done in 20–30 minutes while you wait.
