Greddy 1993-2002 Mazda RX-7 FD3S Differential Cover
This Greddy differential cover replaces the stock unit on 1993-2002 Mazda RX-7 FD3S models worldwide including USDM and JDM variants. Crafted from die-cast A6061-T6 aluminum it includes external cooling fins and internal baffles for better oil flow and heat dissipation during aggressive driving. Larger oil capacity adds 0.5 liters to keep temperatures stable under high loads and extended sessions.
Key Features
- Cast Aluminum Build: Die-cast A6061-T6 aluminum handles high torque loads and resists cracking far beyond OEM steel construction.
- Cooling Fins: External fins increase surface area by 2.5 times to reject heat from differential oil more effectively.
- Increased Capacity: Holds an extra 0.5 liters of oil to lower operating temperatures and enhance lubrication during performance driving.
- Internal Baffles: Ribbed interior design channels oil flow and prevents starvation in corners or under hard acceleration.
- Precision Fit: Direct bolt-on replacement includes gasket for leak-free seal on FD3S differential housing.
Product Notes
- Fill with high-quality gear oil after installation for peak performance.
- Black anodized finish stands up to corrosion from road salt and track conditions.
- Ships in protective foam-lined box to ensure no damage on arrival.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Drain stock oil completely before removing old cover.
- Uses OEM hardware. Torque bolts to 20-25 ft-lbs in crisscross pattern.

Diff Covers
Differential covers protect the ring gear, bearing caps, and gear oil inside your axle housing. Upgrading from a factory stamped-steel cover to a cast iron, billet aluminum, or fabricated steel unit adds extra fluid capacity for better cooling and provides significantly more impact protection on trails and tracks.Popular Diff Cover UpgradesTop sellers include Dana 44 and Dana 60 covers from Yukon Gear and ARB, deep-sump covers for GM 8.5-inch and 10.5-inch axles, high-clearance covers for Jeep JL and JK axles, and aFe Power COVER axle covers for Ford F-150, Ram, and GM truck platforms. Many billet covers add fill-plug temperature ports for monitoring fluid temps under tow.Do aftermarket diff covers actually help?A thicker-walled cover increases gear oil capacity by one to two quarts on most axles, reducing operating temperature under sustained load like towing or trail driving. Reinforced covers also resist rock strikes that would crack or bend a stock stamped unit, keeping your dif...
