Three Fluids, Three Jobs

Understanding Your Drivetrain

Each of these does the same basic job — carry heat away from a set of gears that never stops turning — and each of them breaks down doing it. Which ones your vehicle has depends on how it puts power to the road.

The Service

Differential & Transfer Case

Think of it as an oil change for your differential. Differentials work with the transmission to deliver power to the axle that turns your wheels, and let those wheels turn at different speeds when you corner — most four-wheel drives have both a front and a rear. The transfer case is a gearbox found only on four-wheel drive and some all-wheel drive vehicles, splitting power between axles as traction changes. Jiffy Lube® drains the used fluid in either and replaces it with fluid that meets or exceeds your manufacturer's specifications.

Why It Matters Here

Bridges, Then Backups

Transmission fluid lubricates, cools and cleans the gearbox and holds the hydraulic pressure it needs to shift at all — it is doing more jobs at once than any other fluid in the car. Heat is what degrades it. A Tampa Bay commute tends to alternate long stretches at speed across the causeways with heavy stop-start either side of them, and that swing between sustained load and crawling is exactly the pattern a gearbox works hardest under.

Signs it's time

Any of these and it is worth having us look. No appointment — drive in and we'll tell you straight.

  • Delayed engagement — a pause before the car actually moves
  • Slipping, or the gearbox hunting between gears
  • A burning smell, or strange noises when you change gear
  • A whine or hum that rises with road speed, not engine speed
  • Leaking fluid, or a puddle where you parked
  • The check-engine light is illuminated

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out these common FAQs.

What counts as the drivetrain?
Everything between the engine and the wheels. In most cars that means the transmission and one or two differentials; in a four-wheel drive it also means a transfer case. Each runs in its own fluid with its own replacement schedule.
How often should drivetrain fluids be changed?
At your vehicle manufacturer's recommendation. Jiffy Lube® recommends following manufacturer recommendations, where applicable, for maintenance schedules and service intervals — the figure in your owner's manual is the one that counts, and it differs by component and by vehicle.
Do I need this if I don't have four-wheel drive?
You still have a transmission and at least one differential, so those fluids still apply. The transfer case is the only part exclusive to four-wheel drive and some all-wheel drive vehicles.
There is a whine that rises with road speed. What is that?
A whine or hum that tracks road speed rather than engine speed often points at the drivetrain rather than the engine. Along with slipping, delayed engagement, a burning smell, leaking fluid or a check-engine light, it is worth bringing in. Drive in to any of our 6 Tampa Bay-area stores and we will take a look.
Is there a coupon for drivetrain work?
Yes — our Additional Vehicle Care offer covers fluid and transmission services at 10% off. Grab it from the coupons page and text or email it to yourself before you visit.
