What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2007 Mazda 5

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 5's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your 5 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2007 Mazda 5, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mazda's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages.
