Does the Transmission Need Filter Replacement?

[LeMicah]

Transmission oil filters do require replacement. When changing the transmission oil, the transmission oil filter should be replaced simultaneously. Transmission oil serves to lubricate and cool within the transmission system, while automatic transmission fluid also functions in power transmission. Without transmission oil, the transmission cannot operate properly. Prolonged failure to replace the transmission oil will cause it to become increasingly viscous, impairing heat dissipation and leading to excessive temperatures. Over time, this will adversely affect the transmission's service life. It is essential to use specialized OEM transmission oil exclusively; mixing different types is prohibited. Overfilling will increase resistance during operation, accelerating component wear, whereas insufficient oil levels may result in sluggish gear shifting.
