Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

How do I know if my Genesis drivetrain is damaged?

How often will I need Genesis G80 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Can you clear the G80 check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.
