Reasons for Checking and Changing Transmission Fluid


Regularly checking and changing the transmission fluid is essential for the proper maintenance and longevity of the vehicle's transmission system. Some key reasons for this include:



  • Lubrication and Cooling: The transmission fluid helps lubricate the moving parts within the transmission, reducing friction and wear. It also helps dissipate heat, keeping the transmission operating at optimal temperatures.

  • Contamination Prevention: Over time, the transmission fluid can become contaminated with metal particles, dirt, and other debris, which can cause damage to the transmission components. Changing the fluid at the recommended intervals helps remove these contaminants.

  • Improved Performance: Fresh transmission fluid helps maintain the proper viscosity and flow, ensuring the transmission operates smoothly and efficiently.

A fluid change is a drain-and-refill, with some old fluid remains in the transmission after the change, which can contaminate the new fluid — and diminish performance.
