Caring for your car's differential is an important part of maintenance. However, many do not even realize that the differential exists, let alone needs an oil change. Changing your car's differential oil is not like changing the engine oil. Differentials are located underneath the car. Depending on what make and model, the differentials are not always in the same place.

Most differentials are located at the rear of your car. However, some cars with rear-wheel drive will have their own housing. Front-wheel drive models will keep the differential in the transmission.
