Transmission Fluid Exchange Service

Why You Need New Transmission Fluid

Transmission fluid is very important because it helps to keep all of the small and intricate parts in your transmission properly lubricated. While this fluid is good for a long time, there is going to come a time when you need to have it replaced. With a transmission fluid exchange, the certified technician will drain all of the current fluid and then replenish it with a brand new supply.

When to Change Transmission Fluid?

Usually, you can drive between 30,000 and 50,000 miles between transmission fluid exchange services. However, if you notice that your transmission is not working very well or is making odd noises, it would be important to come in for this service anyways. When you are able to come in to have this service done, it will ensure that you have a fresh supply of transmission fluid. This will continue to protect your transmission and ensure it continues to allow you to shift gears going forward without any issues.

What Happens if You Delay Transmission Fluid Service?

If your vehicle is low on the transmission fluid and you do not have the service done, it could start to put a lot of strain on your transmission. Transmissions that do not have enough fluid, or have fluid that is full of grime and debris, will be jeopardized. Eventually, you could see that your transmission is making odd noises or is not able to shift gears as efficiently as it once did. This could then cause more serious repairs in the future, which could even include a full replacement of your transmission and other connected parts.
