Service for 4WD and AWD trucks and SUVs
If your four-wheel drive won’t engage, or you hear grinding from under the vehicle, book it in. Driving on a damaged transfer case or differential can turn a repair into a rebuild.
These parts run in oil that needs to be replaced from time to time. Fresh oil protects the gears. The old oil also tells our mechanics if something inside is wearing out.
Signs of transfer case or differential trouble
- Trouble getting into, or staying in, four-wheel driveIt won’t engage, or it pops back out.
- A grinding noiseGears or bearings that are worn or short of oil.
- A fluid leakThick oil under the middle of the vehicle or near an axle.
- A 4WD warning or service lightThe system has found a fault.
- Steering that feels heavy or stiffBinding in tight turns is a common sign.
- Tires wearing out too fastA driveline fault can scrub the tires.
Why not wait on 4WD service
Like the other fluids in your car, this oil needs to be replaced from time to time. It’s easy to forget because you never see it. Fresh oil costs far less than new gears.
