Your Kia's transfer case is a critical component of its drivetrain, responsible for distributing power from the transmission to the front and rear axles. Over time, the transfer case fluid can become contaminated with debris, moisture, and other impurities, leading to decreased performance and potential damage to the transfer case components. If you've noticed signs of grinding noises, difficulty shifting gears, or fluid leaks from the transfer case, it's time to prioritize a transfer case service at Lou Fusz Kia. Let your Kia service center at Lou Fusz Kia get you back on the road today.
The transfer case is filled with fluid, and that fluid helps to keep parts of the transfer case lubricated, cool, and prevent wear and tear, which also includes corrosion prevention. When the transfer case is in motion, the gears and chain inside splash the fluid everywhere to keep the transfer case enclosed in the fluid. While the fluid keeps the components cool and lubricated, the fluid itself deals with heat and friction, which eventually cause the fluid to lose its lubricating capabilities and break down. Around this time the fluid will become gritty and dark, and it will need to be changed.
One visual sign that a new transfer case fluid is needed is when the fluid turns into a dark and gritty color. Another sign is seeing that the transfer case fluid is low. One audible sign is that there could be some grinding or rattling underneath your vehicle. A milestone to start thinking about getting new transfer case fluid would be around the 30,000-mile mark. At that point, it would be best to get a new transfer case fluid. You might need to get new fluid sooner if you do a significant amount of towing or off-road driving.
