Heat, moisture, extreme pressure, and heavy loads cause gear oil to break down or become contaminated. This can lead to lubrication failure and worn gears.
The BG Driveline Service removes and replaces old, worn-out lubricant from manual transmissions, front and rear differentials, trans axles, and transfer cases. One of Lou's Car Care's specially trained technicians will install a high-quality BG gear lubricant required for vehicle application.
You'll experience smoother gear-shifting, quieter operation, and extended life on driveline components. This reduces major repair costs due to worn gears.
The component that links your vehicle's engine to the wheels is called the driveline. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, our auto technicians will remove all of the old, oxidized fluid and replace it with up to two quarts of BG Ultra Guard Synthetic Gear Lube.

FREQUENTLY ASKED DRIVELINE QUESTIONS:
1. What is a driveline, and why is it important?
The driveline is a critical part of your vehicle that connects the transmission to the wheels, transferring power to move the car. It includes parts like the driveshaft, axles, U-joints, and differential. Proper driveline maintenance ensures smooth operation, efficient power transfer, and overall safety on the road.
2. What are the common signs of driveline problems?
Here are the most common signs your driveline might need attention:
- Vibrations or shuddering when driving.
- Clunking, clicking, or whining noises, especially when accelerating or turning.
- Difficulty steering or a loss of power to the wheels.
- Fluid leaks near the differential or driveshaft area.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's best to have your vehicle inspected right away.
3. How often should you service your driveline?
You should have your driveline inspected at least once a year or during routine maintenance visits. Driveline fluids, such as differential and transfer case fluids, typically need replacement every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on your vehicle and driving habits.
4. What happens during a driveline service?
A driveline service usually includes:
- Inspecting the driveshaft, U-joints, and CV joints for wear or damage.
- Replacing old differential and transfer case fluids.
- Lubricating essential components to prevent wear.
- Checking for proper alignment and balance of the driveline.
Regular driveline service helps prevent costly repairs and ensures your vehicle runs smoothly.
