If the driveshaft is leaking oil, it is necessary to take it to a repair shop for inspection and treatment. Whether it needs to be replaced depends on the situation. The reasons for driveshaft oil leakage are as follows: Aging of the oil seal: Like the engine and transmission, the driveshaft is a mechanical transmission component that requires lubrication. Oil leakage is mostly caused by the aging of the oil seal, leading to incomplete sealing. Loose clamps: Oil leakage from the driveshaft dust cover is often caused by loose clamps. Tightening the screws has little effect, and over time, oil leakage will still occur. To completely eliminate the oil leakage, the corresponding parts of the driveshaft and transfer case need to be disassembled and reassembled properly.

Is There a Charge for the 10 Free Maintenance Services Offered with the Nissan Sylphy?

The rules for the 10 free maintenance services offered with the Nissan Sylphy vary depending on the promotional activities provided by different manufacturers or 4S stores. A common rule is the waiver of material costs for basic maintenance, such as engine oil and oil filters. For specific rules, it is advisable to consult the local 4S store or the manufacturer. Details are as follows: 1. Contract: The offer of 10 free maintenance services with the purchase of a car is primarily a promotional strategy to boost sales of specific models. These promotions typically come in two forms: those offered by the manufacturer and those by the 4S store. If a maintenance contract is signed at the time of purchase, the 10 free services are documented. However, if no such contract is signed and the agreement is only verbal, it may be difficult to enforce. 2. Disputes: Many car owners, having not clarified the terms or signed a contract at the time of purchase, later find themselves charged for labor costs during maintenance or encounter situations where the promised 10 free services are not honored.
