Do I Really Need to Change the Transmission Fluid?
1 Answers
Yes, you need to change the transmission fluid. Generally, it should be replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid deteriorates and evaporates over time when working under high-speed and high-temperature conditions, so regular replacement is necessary. Failure to change it can accelerate the wear of mechanical components. Transmission fluid helps keep the gear system clean, lubricates the transmission components, and extends their service life. It is a lubricant specifically designed to maintain the cleanliness of the gear system and enhance the longevity of the transmission. It also provides effective lubrication in low-temperature conditions, reducing fluid loss under harsh operating conditions. Depending on the transmission type, transmission fluid is categorized into automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and manual transmission fluid.
