- 2. Rear differential services • The differential, commonly known as the gear box, contains gears which connect your cars two axles. It consists of a drive pinion and ring gears to permit the rotation of two shafts at different speeds. Differential gears are part of a rear axle assembly. They are used to convert the lengthwise flow of power from the engine through the clutches, transmissions, and propeller shafts into a right-angle direction. This change allows the engine power to turn the rear wheels (four wheel drive is used in some designs) and permits the wheels to move at different speeds, as when turning corners. Manufactures recommends changing every 15,000 to 30,000 miles.

- 4. Transfer Case Service The transfer case is a special gear found in four-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles. It sends drive power from the engine to front and rear axles. In all-wheel-drive vechicle, the transfer case helps to shift power from one axle to another, depending upon traction and conditions .lubricant fluid in the transfer case helps to keep it gears cool and turning smoothly replacing this fluid at appropriate intervals can help prevent premature wear and damage caused by contaminated or broken-down lubricants. When this fluid leaks out or become contaminated, it is no longer able to act as a lubricant, and severe damage can be caused to the transfer case. Manufactures recommend service every 30,000 miles.

Even the smallest piece of dirt can damage a fuel injector, resulting in erratic performance, poor gas mileage and, in some cases, complete engine shutdown. A clean fuel filter is one of the best ways to ensure dependable, trouble-free performance. That’s why most car-care experts recommend replacing the fuel filter in your vehicle approximately every 10,000 to 15,000 miles or once a year for peak performance. To keep your car safe from further maintenance like fuel pumps and etc.
