Does the Lantra's automatic transmission fluid need to be replaced?
1 Answers
The Lantra's automatic transmission fluid needs to be replaced, recommended every 60,000 kilometers. It is best to use the original transmission fluid and have it replaced at a 4S shop. Transmission fluid is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the transmission works properly and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. Functions of transmission fluid: The main function of transmission fluid is to keep the gear system clean and to lubricate and extend the life of the transmission components. Due to different transmission designs, there are manual and automatic transmissions, each with its own technical requirements. Even the same transmission model installed in different vehicles may have differences in torque, weight, speed, and structure. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid. Precautions for replacing transmission fluid: Transmission fluid deteriorates and evaporates under prolonged high-speed and high-temperature conditions, which can increase mechanical wear and, in severe cases, damage internal transmission components. Long-term failure to replace the transmission fluid can result in weak starts when the car is cold. The vehicle may also experience slight slipping during driving. Prolonged failure to replace the transmission fluid can cause it to thicken, potentially blocking the transmission cooler, leading to excessively high transmission fluid temperatures and increased wear.
