Does Transmission Fluid Need to Be Changed?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid does need to be changed. The method for changing transmission fluid is as follows: 1. Before changing the fluid, to avoid damaging the transmission, it is necessary to strictly follow the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. For example, the engine or towing is strictly prohibited when the transmission has no lubricating oil. 2. Drain the fluid by removing all underbody covers or shields, then remove the drain plug at the bottom of the oil pan to drain the old transmission fluid and collect it in a suitable container. 3. Remove the oil pan. For metal oil pans, only the filter and sealing ring need to be replaced. Loosen the oil pan screws in the order specified by the vehicle manufacturer to avoid deformation of the oil pan. Then, remove the old filter and magnet, and clean any residual oil from the oil pan. 4. Install the new filter and sealing ring, and tighten the screws with the specified torque. If you use a fluid change kit, it includes the filter and sealing ring.
