Why You Should Do a BG Products Drive Line Service

Explanation: The BG Products Drive Line Service is a specialized maintenance procedure that uses advanced equipment, like the BG MAX Multi Application Exchanger or BG Drive Line Service Center, and high-quality BG gear oils, such as BG Ultra-Guard® Full Synthetic Gear Lubricant, to replace old, contaminated fluid in your vehicle’s driveline components, including front and rear differentials, manual transmissions, transaxles, and transfer cases. This service is vital for the following reasons:

​

  1. Prevent Costly Repairs: Driveline components operate under extreme heat, pressure, and loads, causing gear oil to break down, form sludge, and accumulate metal debris. The BG Drive Line Service removes worn-out lubricant and replaces it with fresh, high-performance gear oil, preventing gear wear, pitting, and corrosion that can lead to expensive repairs.

  2. Smoother and Quieter Operation: Contaminated gear oil can cause chatter, rough gear shifting, and noise. By using BG’s specialized equipment to flush old fluid and install premium gear oil with conditioners, this service ensures smoother gear shifts, quieter operation, and improved driveline efficiency.

  3. Extended Component Life: The BG Drive Line Service cleans bearings and gears of varnish and deposits, replacing old fluid with lubricant that conditions seals and protects against wear. This extends the lifespan of driveline components, reducing the likelihood of premature failure.

  4. Enhanced Vehicle Performance: A well-maintained driveline ensures efficient power transfer from the transmission to the wheels, improving overall vehicle performance. The BG service optimizes seal performance and protects against lubrication failure, maintaining consistent operation, especially in demanding conditions.

  5. Lifetime BG Protection Plan: When performed at recommended intervals (every 30,000 miles or as specified), the BG Drive Line Service is backed by the Lifetime BG Protection Plan, offering up to $4,000 in repair coverage for driveline components (Plan 1) or $2,000 (Plan 2) if issues arise, providing peace of mind and financial protection. This coverage is transferable if you sell your vehicle.

​

When to Do a BG Drive Line Service: Most vehicles require a driveline service every 30,000 miles or as recommended in your owner’s manual. Signs that service is needed include noisy or rough gear shifting, driveline vibrations, or visible contamination in the gear oil. Vehicles used for towing, off-roading, or in extreme conditions may require more frequent service. Check with a BG-authorized shop to confirm your vehicle’s needs.

​

By performing a BG Products Drive Line Service, you protect your vehicle’s driveline, enhance performance, and avoid costly repairs, all while benefiting from BG’s trusted products and lifetime protection. Schedule this service at a BG-authorized facility for professional care and optimal results.
