What is the Replacement Interval for a Differential?
1 Answers
Generally, the replacement interval for differential oil is every 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, but this may vary depending on the vehicle model. Introduction to the Differential: 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 side gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier. Function of the Differential: The role of the differential is to enable the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds when the vehicle is turning or driving on uneven surfaces, ensuring that both drive wheels perform pure rolling motion. The differential is installed to adjust the speed difference between the left and right wheels.
