Does the Automatic Transmission Filter Need to Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission filters do need to be replaced. Generally, they should be replaced along with the transmission fluid, approximately every two years or after driving 40,000-60,000 kilometers. Here are the situations when an automatic transmission filter needs replacement: 1. Friction between metal components generates fine debris, and the transmission fluid can become contaminated. These impurities are easily intercepted and filtered by the transmission filter screen to prevent transmission malfunctions. 2. Most filters are made of filter paper material, which can accumulate many impurities after prolonged use, necessitating replacement. Additional information: The transmission filter, also known as the transmission filter screen, is installed inside the transmission and serves a filtering function. It filters out oil contaminants and impurities in the transmission, thereby protecting the transmission.
