How many kilometers should an automatic transmission's oil be changed?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the transmission oil of an automatic transmission should be changed every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Failure to change the transmission oil for an extended period can lead to automatic transmission malfunctions. The transmission oil in an automatic transmission not only serves the purposes of lubrication and heat dissipation but also functions in transmitting force. Inside the automatic transmission, there are gear shift control mechanisms that rely on the transmission oil to operate properly. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can result in excessive impurities in the oil, potentially damaging the transmission's gear shift control mechanisms. If these mechanisms are damaged, the repair costs can be quite high. Therefore, it is recommended that vehicle owners adhere to regular transmission oil changes during routine vehicle use.
