FLUID
REPLACEMENT AND EXCHANGE
SERVICES
Jiffy Lube® fluid services help maintain your vehicle’s performance in areas such as brakes, transmission, radiator coolant and more.
DIFFERENTIAL FLUID EXCHANGE
Like an oil change for your differential, help optimize performance and longevity of this key component with a visit to Jiffy Lube® for a differential fluid exchange.
WHAT WE DO:
Jiffy Lube® drains the used fluid and replaces it with differential fluid that meets or exceeds your manufacturer’s specifications.
HOW IT WORKS:
Differentials work with your transmission to deliver power from your engine to the axle that turns your wheels. Most four-wheel drive vehicles have both front and rear differentials.
Lubricating fluid inside the differential transfers heat away from the gears, helping to preserve the life and performance of your differential. Over time, though, operating temperatures and wear can cause the fluid to break down. When the fluid breaks down or becomes contaminated, performance and longevity may be impacted.
HOW OFTEN:
Differential fluid exchange should be performed based on your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
TRANSFER CASE FLUID EXCHANGE
Like an oil change for your 4X4’s transfer case, help optimize performance and longevity of this key component with a visit to Jiffy Lube® for a transfer case fluid exchange.
WHAT WE DO:
Jiffy Lube® drains and replaces it with transfer case fluid that meets or exceeds your manufacturer’s specifications.
HOW IT WORKS:
The transfer case is a gearbox found only in four-wheel drive and some all-wheel drive vehicles that sends drive power from the engine to the front axles. Lubricating fluid inside the transfer case draws heat away from the gears, helping to preserve the life and performance.
HOW OFTEN:
Your vehicle’s transfer case fluid should be exchanged at your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE
Like an oil change for your transmission, help optimize performance and longevity of this key system with a visit to Jiffy Lube® for a transmission fluid exchange.
WHAT WE DO:
Jiffy Lube® removes the used fluid and replaces it with new transmission fluid that meets or exceeds your manufacturer’s specifications.
HOW IT WORKS:
Transmission fluid helps lubricate, cool and clean internal components of the transmission. It also helps maintain the hydraulic pressure necessary for the transmission to function properly.
HOW OFTEN:
Transmission fluid should be exchanged at your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
RADIATOR COOLANT FLUID EXCHANGE
Help keep your engine cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Based on your manufacturer’s recommendation and/or test results, Jiffy Lube® removes used engine coolant (also called antifreeze), replaces it with coolant that meets or exceeds your manufacturer specifications and properly disposes of the used fluid.
WHAT WE DO:
Based on your manufacturer’s recommendations and/or test results, Jiffy Lube® removes used engine coolant (also called antifreeze), replaces it with coolant that meets or exceeds your manufacturer’s specifications and properly disposes of the used fluid.
HOW IT WORKS:
A properly functioning engine cooling system circulates coolant through the engine and radiator, helping reduce heat levels, lubricating the water pump and protecting against corrosion. Your vehicle even uses the cooling system to heat the passenger cabin. When your vehicle’s cooling system isn’t functioning properly, the temperature of your engine can get hot enough to potentially damage itself. Having your engine cooling system properly maintained can help optimize the performance and longevity of your engine.
HOW OFTEN:
You should change your coolant according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation and/or test results.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID
Help optimize your diesel-equipped vehicle’s emission system with a visit to Jiffy Lube®. A full DEF tank can help ensure your emission system is working properly.
WHAT WE DO:
When the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank is found to be low on fluid, Jiffy Lube® adds DEF to bring it back to an acceptable level.
HOW IT WORKS:
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is an aqueous solution made with 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water. DEF is used as a consumable in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) in order to lower NOx concentration in the exhaust emissions from diesel engines.
HOW OFTEN:
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) service is dependent on many variables, including vehicle load, speed, distance driven and idling time.
BRAKE FLUID EXCHANGE
Help keep your brake system working efficiently and safely with a visit to Jiffy Lube® for a brake fluid exchange. Our service includes a visual inspection of the brake system, replacement with new fluid that meets or exceeds your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications and proper disposal of the used fluid.
WHAT WE DO:
Our technicians will perform a visual inspection of your vehicle’s brake system, drain and properly dispose of used brake fluid and replace with brake fluid that meets or exceeds your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
HOW IT WORKS:
Brake fluid is an integral part of the braking system, used to transfer force under pressure to create the braking power necessary to stop your vehicle. When you step on the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid flows to each brake to apply the pressure that slows your vehicle.
Over time, the fluid may become compromised by moisture and other contaminants, and the performance of your brake system can suffer.
HOW OFTEN:
Your brake fluid should be changed according to brake fluid test results and/or applicable vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.
Jiffy Lube® recommends following manufacturer recommendations, where applicable, for maintenance schedules and service intervals.
