Mazda Differential

The Mazda differential is a gadget that couples the drive to the half-shafts, which link to the rear drive wheels. In two ways, it divides the motor torque, thus enabling the rotation of an individual wheel at different rates. What is crucial, however, in all cases is that the outside drive wheel has more miles per second than the inside one. This happens because, for any vehicle turning, a curve on the outer side needs more momentum to roll faster and farther than its counterpart. On this account, then, regular examination of a car's differential becomes important for them.

Whenever you need replacements, opt for genuine Mazda Differentials. Because they meet the manufacturer's criteria, it guarantees that replacements fit perfectly.

A:
This is done on the front and the rear differentials. The differential has a check/fill plug which has to be taken off to measure the level of lubricant. In case of elevating the vehicle to reach the plug, make sure it will be mounted safely on jackstands and do not crawl under the vehicle with only jack support. Start by taking off the lubricant check/ fill plug of the differential. Test with your little finger, to see that the level of the lubricant is not lower than that of the bottom of the plug hole. In case the level is low, use syringe or squeeze bottle to pour the recommended lubricant until it starts overflowing through the opening. Lastly, put the plug back and screw it.
