Does a 4WD Vehicle Need Differential Oil Change?
1 Answers
The same gear oil is used, and it needs to be replaced periodically, although the replacement intervals vary depending on the type of gear oil used. Differential Oil: Differential oil is a lubricant specifically designed for the rear differential of rear-wheel-drive vehicles, providing effective protection for the differential. Differential Oil Replacement Interval: If mineral oil is used, it should be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Synthetic gear oil can last 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers before replacement. Standard open differentials use 75w-90 gear oil, while differentials with LSD (Limited Slip Differential) functionality require 75w-140 gear oil.
