Front & Rear Differential Fluid Change Information by Carter Subaru Ballard in Seattle

Chances are that your Subaru model is equipped with the legendary traction of symmetrical all-wheel drive which means your vehicle likely has three differentials. Ensuring that the fluid in each is fresh and clean is a big part of getting the longest and most reliable life from the renowned symmetrical all-wheel drive system. Even if you enjoy the rear-wheel drive Subaru BRZ, keeping it well maintained with regular differential fluid changes is important. Our experienced technicians have been trained by the factory, and they'll only replace differential fluid with genuine factory-approved products.
Why is it Important to Have the Differential Fluid Changed in Your Subaru?
Whether it's the center differential that distributes power between the front and rear wheels or the differentials that apportion power to the individual wheels, Subaru differentials have a big job. Specific fluid is found in every differential to keep things cool, lubricated, and working properly, but this fluid won't last forever. That's why it's important to have it changed so the renowned symmetrical all-wheel drive system continues to operate as it was designed.
How Often Should You Have the Differential Fluid Changed in Your Subaru?
While the schedule for changing the differential fluid depends on driving habits and the specific Subaru model, it is typically recommended that you have the differentials serviced every 30,000 miles. Your owner's manual should offer a schedule specific to your model, or speak with one of our knowledgeable service advisers at Carter Subaru Ballard.
