Did You Know?
Your vehicle's differential is a kind of unsung hero within the powertrain system. The differential has two primary responsibilities: directing engine power to the drive wheels and allowing the wheels to rotate at different speeds when cornering. If the wheels couldn't rotate at different speeds, your vehicle's tires would display a wheel hop effect, thereby making cornering a rough experience for both you and your tires.So, don't be indifferent toward your differential. It plays a vital role in moving your vehicle and ensuring a smooth ride.

Radiator Contamination:
When an engine or transmission fails and needs to be replaced, often, the vehicle's radiator must be replaced as well. This is due to the engine or transmission contaminating the radiator with excessive gear shavings or other foreign objects at failure.

What It Does
The powertrain includes the engine, transmission (transaxle on front-wheel-drive vehicles) and drive axles that work in tandem to move the vehicle.

Service & Maintenance
While many of your vehicle's powertrain components such as the driveshaft and axle shafts don't require much routine maintenance, there are a few parts that need periodic attention.

• Check the engine oil level at every fuel fill and add oil if necessary
• About once a month, make sure all tires are inflated properly and check for any unusual wear or damage
• Have an underbody flushing performed approximately once a year
• The engine's exterior should be cleaned periodically. Buildups of oil and dirt can cause the engine to run hot or hide leaks
• Have your vehicle inspected if the Service Engine Soon light illuminates
