Transmission Fluid Exchange Service

The transmission of a vehicle is an essential mechanical component. Next to a vehicle engine, it is one of the most valuable mechanical systems in a vehicle. That's why it's so important to keep the transmission in good shape. A transmission malfunction can be very expensive to fix. It's best to prevent transmission problems by keeping your transmission well serviced with fluid exchanges. Transmission fluid is important for providing lubrication and hydraulic force when you switch gears.

Reasons to Schedule a Transmission Fluid exchange Now

Over time, your transmission fluid will degrade and be less effective. Neglecting a transmission fluid exchange for too long will make it so that your fluid can't lubricate moving parts within our transmission as well. This can cause overheating and can also wear out certain parts of your transmission like clutches more quickly.

Timeframe for Scheduling This Important Service

You should be aware of the maintenance schedule for your vehicle model. This schedule should tell you how often you need to have your transmission fluid exchanges done. You can also consult with your mechanic regarding the optimum frequency for transmission fluid exchange service for your vehicle model. In general, you're probably going to find that this type of fluid exchange is necessary around once every 30,000 miles. Some vehicle models might be able to go longer than 30,000 miles. You might be able to go as many as 60,000 miles between transmission fluid exchanges, depending on the model vehicle you drive.
