Do I Need to Replace the Filter When Using a Flushing Machine to Change Transmission Fluid?
1 Answers
When using a flushing machine to change transmission fluid, it is necessary to replace the filter. Here is the relevant information: 1. Reason: Just like when changing engine oil, the oil filter needs to be replaced. Otherwise, the significance of changing the transmission fluid is diminished. The main function of transmission fluid is to keep the shifting system clean and to lubricate the transmission components, thereby extending their lifespan. 2. Transmission: Due to differences in transmission design, transmissions are divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions (which are further categorized into CVT, AMT, etc.). Each transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicle models will have differences in torque, weight, speed, structure, etc. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid.
