Chevrolet Silverado: Vehicle Checks / Front & Rear Axle
Front Axle
When to Check Lubricant
It is not necessary to regularly check the front axle fluid unless a leak is
suspected or an unusual noise is heard. A fluid loss could indicate a problem. Have
it inspected and repaired. This service can be complex. See your dealer.
Do not directly power wash the transfer case and/or front/rear axle output seals.
High pressure water can overcome the seals and contaminate the fluid. Contaminated
fluid will decrease the life of the transfer case and/or drive axles and should
be replaced.
