LONGEVITY TIPS

• Drive your car gently until the differential oil is viscous and has warmed from gear friction. Differential gear oil is usually heavy weight (thick) oil even without the added effects of cold temperature.
• Never put different size tires on the rear axle. This will strain and damage the differential.
• Consider replacing the standard differential drain plug with a magnetized version of the same size. This will prevent normal, metallic wear particles from circulating throughout the differential, thus allowing for an extended useful life. The magnetic plug, exposed to much lubricant flow, will pull the metallic debris out of the passing oil and retain it until the next oil change.
• Do not put standard differential oil, for example, SAE 80W-90 GL-5 gear oil, into a patented limited slip differential. If your differential has a patented or proprietary limited slip axle, it may require special lubricant. These differentials will make noise, slip and become damaged. Read the fill bolt carefully to make sure it has no special markings that indicate special oil is required.
