Differential Service in East Texas
Your vehicle’s differential is a key part of the drivetrain, helping your wheels turn smoothly and keeping power distributed where it’s needed most. Whether you drive FWD, RWD, AWD, or 4WD, regular differential service is essential for preventing costly repairs and ensuring long-term performance—especially in the demanding driving conditions common throughout East Texas.
At Automotive Super Center, our ASE-certified technicians provide expert differential service and differential fluid changes tailored to your vehicle’s exact needs. We proudly serve drivers across Tyler, Longview, Mount Pleasant, Kilgore, and Henderson.
Why Differential Service Matters
Differentials rely on heavy-duty gear oil to lubricate internal gears and bearings. As miles add up, the fluid breaks down and becomes contaminated with metal particles—leading to:
- Excessive wear and overheating
- Poor power transfer
- Drivetrain damage
- Costly repairs or complete differential failure
Routine differential maintenance keeps your gears protected, ensures smooth handling, and improves performance on Texas highways, city streets, and backroads.
Signs You May Need Differential Service
Don’t ignore these common warning signs:
- Whining, humming, or howling from the front or rear of your vehicle
- Dragging or resistance when turning
- Gear oil leaks near the differential or axle
- Vibrations during acceleration or at higher speeds
- Burning smell from overheated fluid
If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, schedule a diagnostic inspection immediately.

How Often Should You Change Differential Fluid?
Most manufacturers recommend a differential fluid change every 30,000–60,000 miles, but Texas heat, towing, and stop-and-go driving can shorten that interval.
If you haul trailers, drive on rural roads, or own a truck or SUV, regular differential service is even more important.
