Frequently asked questions about differential fluid change & replacements
Read our answers to questions about differential fluid replacement costs, symptoms and more.

- Mechanic will inspect the differential and the differential fluid.

How often should differential fluid be replaced?
Over time, the differential fluid's condition can deteriorate to such an extent that it is not able to lubricate the differential's gears adequately anymore. The fluid should always be replaced as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer.
Usually the fluid will thicken due to the intense heat that emerges within the differential casing. Without an adequate level of fluid the differential will not be able to run smoothly and will wear out the gears quicker leading to expensive repairs. Should you experience problems with the differential, it is advisable to have the differential and fluid inspected. If necessary, have the differential fluid replaced.
How much does a differential fluid replacement cost?
The cost of replacing the differential fluid depends on your car and what parts your car's manufacturer recommends using for the replacement. Find out what you could save by having your differential fluid replaced by ClickMechanic by selecting your car at the top of this page!

Is a bad differential fluid an MOT failure?
Fluids are generally not checked as part of the MOT so you shouldn't typically fail the MOT. However, low or bad differential fluid should be checked and changed as soon as possible. An absence of the fluid can cause damage to lubricating parts such as bearings and gears which can result in expensive repairs in the future.
