AWD AND 4WD
SERVICE EDMONTON
All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive systems use additional drivetrain components to distribute engine power between the front and rear wheels. Depending on the vehicle, these systems can include a transfer case, centre differential, front differential, rear differential or electronically controlled coupling.
Auto Imports provides AWD and 4WD maintenance, diagnosis and repair for European, Asian and domestic vehicles in Edmonton.
Our Red Seal technicians identify the specific drivetrain system and use the correct fluids, specifications and service procedures for your vehicle.
TRANSFER CASE AND
DIFFERENTIAL FLUID SERVICE
Transfer cases and differentials contain gears, bearings, clutches and other components that depend on the correct fluid for lubrication and protection.
Over time, drivetrain fluids can deteriorate from heat, mechanical load and normal component wear. Towing, hauling and other demanding vehicle use can place additional stress on these systems.
Auto Imports provides differential fluid service as part of maintaining AWD and 4WD drivetrains.
Service requirements vary by vehicle. We follow the specifications and maintenance requirements for the actual drivetrain rather than applying one fluid or service interval to every AWD or 4WD vehicle.
SIGNS AWD OR 4WD
SYSTEM NEEDS ATTENTION
Drivetrain fluid replacement is preventative maintenance. It will not correct every mechanical or electronic AWD or 4WD problem.
Your vehicle may require further assessment if you notice:
• AWD or 4WD warning messages
• Binding or shuddering while turning
• Whining, humming or grinding noises
• Clunking during acceleration or deceleration
• Fluid leaking beneath the vehicle
• Vibration through the drivetrain
• Difficulty engaging or disengaging 4WD
• Changes in normal AWD operation
These symptoms can result from mechanical, electronic or fluid-related problems. Professional vehicle diagnostics can identify faults before repairs are recommended.
A vehicle inspection can also identify visible leaks, damaged components and other drivetrain concerns.
AWD AND 4WD
FOR ALL MAKES AND MODELS
Auto Imports services AWD and 4WD systems on BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Volvo, Land Rover and other European vehicles, along with Subaru, Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, RAM, Jeep and other Asian and domestic vehicles.
AWD and 4WD systems differ significantly between manufacturers. A BMW xDrive system does not use the same components, fluids or service procedures as an Audi quattro system, Subaru AWD system or Ford F-150 4WD drivetrain.
Our technicians identify the actual drivetrain configuration before recommending maintenance or repair.
AWD AND 4WD SYSTEMS
IN EDMONTON
AWD and 4WD vehicles are common in Edmonton because of snow, ice and demanding winter driving conditions. These systems still require proper maintenance to operate as designed.
Extreme temperature changes, towing, hauling and year-round drivetrain loads can increase the importance of maintaining transfer-case and differential fluids.
Tire condition also matters on many AWD systems because significant differences in tire circumference can affect drivetrain operation. Auto Imports provides complete tire and wheel services alongside drivetrain maintenance.
If your AWD or 4WD system has a mechanical problem beyond routine maintenance, we also provide complete automotive repair in Edmonton.

FAQ
How often should transfer case fluid be changed?
Service requirements vary by vehicle, drivetrain design and manufacturer. Vehicle use such as frequent towing or hauling can also affect maintenance requirements.
Is transfer case fluid the same as differential fluid?
Not necessarily. Transfer cases and differentials can require different fluid specifications. We identify the correct fluid for each component before performing service.
Will changing transfer case fluid fix AWD or 4WD problems?
Not necessarily. Shuddering, binding, warning lights and engagement problems can result from mechanical or electronic faults. The system should be properly diagnosed before assuming fluid replacement will correct the problem.
Do AWD vehicles have differentials?
Yes, but the drivetrain layout varies. AWD vehicles can use front and rear differentials, centre differentials, transfer units or electronically controlled couplings depending on the design.
Do all four tires need to match on an AWD vehicle?
Many AWD systems are sensitive to differences in tire circumference. Correct tire size, condition and tread-depth compatibility can therefore be important. Our tire and wheel services can help determine what is appropriate for your vehicle.
Can I finance AWD or 4WD repairs?
Yes. Financing is available for qualifying repairs, including 0% financing on approved purchases.
