How many kilometers should a car drive before changing the transmission oil?
1 Answers
Transmission oil should be changed every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The replacement cycle for transmission oil is calculated similarly to the vehicle's maintenance cycle, based on either mileage or usage time. If the vehicle's manual specifies both criteria, the transmission oil should be changed according to whichever comes first. Transmission oil is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the transmission operates smoothly and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. Each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission installed in different vehicle models may vary in torque, weight, speed, and structure. Therefore, the manufacturer specifies a dedicated transmission oil for each model.
