Can 8-speed transmission fluid replace 6-speed transmission fluid?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid for 8-speed transmissions cannot replace that for 6-speed transmissions. The role of transmission fluid: Transmission fluid is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, ensuring the proper operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. Characteristics of transmission fluid: Most transmission fluids can be used in automatic transmissions available on the market. However, each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicle models will vary in torque, weight, speed, and structure. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid. Different transmission fluids are one of the factors affecting shift quality.
