How often should the rear axle differential oil be changed?
1 Answers
The rear axle differential oil should be changed every three years or 60,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about the differential: 1. Composition: The automotive differential is a mechanism that allows the left and right (or front and rear) drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. It mainly consists of left and right half-shaft gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier. 2. Gear-type differential: Due to its structural design, this type of differential distributes equal torque to the left and right wheels. This torque-balancing characteristic enables the vehicle to operate normally on good road surfaces. 3. Limited-slip differential: To improve the vehicle's ability to traverse poor road conditions, some off-road vehicles and high-end cars are equipped with limited-slip differentials.
