Does the Transmission Filter Need to Be Replaced?

[RonanRose]

Transmission filters need to be replaced. Generally, they are replaced along with the transmission fluid, approximately every two years or after driving 40,000-60,000 kilometers. Relevant information is as follows: 1. 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. 2. Over time, friction between metal components in the transmission generates fine debris, and the transmission fluid also accumulates contaminants. These impurities are easily intercepted and filtered by the transmission filter screen, preventing transmission failures. However, as time passes, more and more impurities accumulate, gradually clogging the transmission filter screen, reducing its filtering efficiency. These impurities then adhere to other components in the transmission, accelerating wear and significantly shortening the transmission's lifespan. Remember to check the condition of the filter screen and replace it when necessary.
