How often should the rear axle oil be changed?
1 Answers
Rear axle oil should be changed approximately every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. Rear axle oil not only provides excellent lubrication but also has a certain cooling effect. If the rear axle oil is not changed for a long time, it may deteriorate, which can no longer protect the rear axle gears, thereby accelerating gear wear. In severe cases, it can also affect the vehicle's fuel economy. The rear axle refers to the rear drive shaft component of the vehicle's power transmission, consisting of two half-axles that allow for differential movement. It also serves as a device to support the wheels and connect the rear wheels. For front-wheel-drive vehicles, the rear axle is merely a trailing axle, serving only a load-bearing function.
