Differential oil is the only thing separating your gears and bearings from metal-on-metal contact. Over time, heat cycles, moisture and microscopic wear particles break the oil down. When that happens, the diff can start to whine, run hotter, or wear faster under load.
WA Diffs performs differential oil changes in Perth for front and rear diffs, 4WD/AWD drivelines and work vehicles that tow or carry heavy loads. We use the correct oil grade for your vehicle and, where required, LSD-compatible fluids to keep your limited-slip differential working smoothly.
To book a diff oil change, call +61 8 9417 9930 or request a quote through the contact form.

A proper oil change is also an inspection opportunity. We don’t just drain and refill – we look for clues that predict future failures:

Different diffs require different oils. Some use specific viscosity grades, some require friction modifiers for LSD units, and some modern vehicles have manufacturer-specific specifications. Using the wrong oil can cause chatter in LSDs, poor lubrication, or reduced protection.
When you book with WA Diffs, we match the oil to your diff type and your use case (daily driving, off-road, towing). If your vehicle has been modified, let us know – tyre size, gearing changes and locker installs can all influence service decisions.

Intervals depend on the vehicle and conditions, but you should consider an earlier change if you:

A diff oil change is one of the best-value maintenance items on a 4WD or ute. If you’re unsure what your vehicle needs, call +61 8 9417 9930 with your make/model and we’ll point you in the right direction.
If you already have a noise (whine, clunk, hum), you may also benefit from a Differential Inspection & Noise Diagnosis to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
