Your XL-7’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Suzuki, from the axles to the transmission.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2008 Suzuki XL-7, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Suzuki's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
