Differentials are a big part of car driving, whether you’re on the street or the track. They allow your car to turn and brake much more quickly than it would if they were just solid axles. And while they’re an important part of the equation, they can also be difficult to change. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to change your front differential fluid without any hassle. And best of all, it’s a relatively easy task that can help you take your driving experience to the next level.
What is front differential fluid?
The front differential fluid fills the space between the drive shafts and helps to provide smooth, reliable movement of the drive wheels. Over time, this fluid can become contaminated and may need to be replaced.

2) Remove the wheel and tire.
3) Loosen the axle nut (if applicable).
4) Remove the differential cover plate.

What are the benefits of changing front differential fluid?
If your car has an automatic transmission, the front differential will shift gears for you. On some cars, this means that the front differential fluid is also shifting. A worn or leaked front differential may cause your automatic transmission to not properly engage the gears, leading to decreased fuel economy and increased wear on your car’s other components.
Changing front differential fluid can improve your car’s fuel economy by helping it to better manage its gear changes, as well as reducing the wear and tear on other parts of your car.
