The differential is located between the car's transmission and the drive shaft, and help to transfer power so the wheels move. The fluid in the differential transfers away heat from the gears, so if it is low or contaminated, the moving parts could become damaged.
The differential fluid will keep the gears lubricated as they take the power from the engine and transmission and move it to the drive shaft. Over time, that fluid is going to break down similar to how the oil in the engine loses viscosity. Replacing the fluid ensures the moving parts won't get damaged.
If the differential were to leak, then the gears inside that are needed to help turn the vehicle are exposed. If they start to grind, they will get heated and damaged easily.
Stop by our service center here at Ford Lincoln Fairfield and our crew will inspect the differential for any signs of trouble and replace the fluid now.
