Importance of Changing Your Vehicles Other Fluids

It is extremely important to change the fluids in the axles, transfer case, and transmission. Vehicles are heavy to begin with, then you add your camper, boat, 4 wheelers, kids, dogs, and stuff. This puts a lot of stress and the gears and bearings. We have done a number of repairs recently that involved changing bearings and gears in axles and transfer cases. These repairs would not have been necessary if the fluids had been serviced. In general these fluids need to be changed about every 36,000 miles.The oil in these gear boxes will break down over time. It looses the capability to create a protective barrier between metal surfaces. The oil becomes contaminated and causes bearing to become pitted or scarred. The symptoms of this start out as noise and eventually cause bearing to seize. This becomes very expensive. We can maintain all of these fluids for you. This saves you money by extending the life of your vehicle and causing moving parts to function move efficiently.
