Does Transmission Fluid Require Filter Replacement?

[DelKarter]

Transmission fluid does require filter replacement. There is a filter inside the transmission oil pan, and it should be replaced every time the transmission fluid is changed. Automatic transmission fluid needs to be replaced every two years or after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, while manual transmission fluid should be replaced every three years or after 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the shifting system clean, ensuring the proper functioning of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. It provides effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions and reduces oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Maintenance methods for automatic transmissions include: 1. Regularly changing the transmission fluid; 2. Frequently checking the fluid level; 3. Avoiding coasting in neutral; 4. Avoiding skipping gears when shifting up; 5. Avoiding forcing the transmission into neutral; 6. Minimizing idle warm-up time; 7. Preventing gear grinding when shifting; 8. Cleaning the transmission.
