Hybrid vehicles do require transmission fluid replacement. Transmission fluid, also known as gear oil, is essential for lubricating the transmission system in any vehicle equipped with a gearbox, as wear and tear naturally occur. Only a small number of pure electric vehicles without transmissions are exempt from this maintenance. Transmission fluid serves to keep the gear system clean, provides lubrication to prolong the lifespan of transmission components, offers effective lubrication even under low-temperature conditions, and minimizes fluid loss during demanding operations. Depending on the transmission type, transmission fluids are categorized into automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and manual transmission fluid.

Hazard: Speeds on highways are very high, and actions like reversing, driving in the wrong direction, stopping, or suddenly changing lanes—common in urban areas—are magnified on highways.
