Frequently asked questions about differential fluid change & replacements
Read our answers to questions about differential fluid replacement costs, symptoms and more.
What does the Differential Fluid do?
The differential fluid lubricates the internal parts of the car's differential. The differential is a unit that enables the wheels that are driven by the engine to turn at different speeds, a necessity for smooth and stable cornering.
What does a differential fluid replacement involve?
- Mechanic will inspect the differential and the differential fluid.
- If necessary, the mechanic will replace the differential fluid.
- Mechanic will advise if any other parts need to be replaced.
- Mechanic will inspect the differential again for any leaks and, if necessary, test drive the car.
Can I do a differential fluid replacement myself?

How long will a differential fluid replacement take?
The time a differential fluid replacement will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
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!
Can I still drive with a bad differential fluid?
Driving with bad differential fluid can lead to lead further complications on your vehicle's differential and potentially damage. If you suspect there is any issue with your differential fluid or there are concerns about its age or condition, book an inspection with a professional mechanic immediate effect.
How much does it cost to fix a rear differential?
If the rear differential is broken and this has been professionally diagnosed it is possible that a replacement is suggested. Cost for a rear differential replacement will depend on a number of factors like your car's make and model, your location and the parts chosen.
What are the symptoms of a bad rear differential?
Symptoms for a bad rear differential can include:
- Grinding noise from the differential.

How much should differential service cost?
Cost for a rear differential service will normally depend on a number of factors like the type of differential and your car's make and model. Furthermore your location and the parts and lubricants chosen can have an impact on the price.
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.
