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 need to be switched out. If you choose not to have the service done and you continue to drive, your differential could wear down to metal-to-metal contact and this makes repairs much more expensive. It is better to keep up with differential maintenance than to pay for differential replacement or repairs.
Besides lubricating the components inside the differential housing, there are a few benefits of having fresh differential fluid. New differential fluid can provide better traction on the road, increased vehicle responsiveness, and rotations and turns become smoother.
Although differential fluid usually lasts longer than most fluids in your Toyota, it doesn’t last forever. Most of the time differential fluid is changed between every 30,000-60,000 miles. This service should be performed by a trained technician.
If it is time for your differential fluid to be replaced, bring in your vehicle to the trained technicians at Toyota Service Center in St. Louis. Our experienced professionals can take care of your differential needs to extend the quality and life of your vehicle. Schedule your appointment today!
