Why Does Transmission Fluid Need To Be Exchanged?
Transmission fluid cycles throughout your transmission, providing lubrication and hydraulic energy to components such as your torque converter, bearings, and other internal parts. The more miles you put on your transmission, the more that its fluid will collect particles and oxidize. Going too long in between transmission fluid exchanges can put your transmission at risk for all sorts of problems, including an expensive transmission failure. A transmission fluid exchange gives your transmission fresh, clean fluid to operate with.
When Does Transmission Fluid Need To Be Exchanged?
Old, contaminated, or depleted transmission fluid can wreak havoc on your transmission. In some cases, you’ll begin to notice signs of transmission trouble, including difficulty getting up to or staying in gear or jerky shifting. Regular transmission fluid exchanges are vital to avoid these problems. While different vehicles recommend different service intervals, you should generally have your transmission fluid exchanged between every 30,000 and 60,000 miles.
