What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2021 Mazda CX-30

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your CX-30's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Mazda, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 Mazda CX-30, 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.
