How many kilometers should an automatic transmission's oil be changed?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission fluid should be changed every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The replacement interval is determined by either mileage or time, whichever comes first. Hazards of not changing transmission fluid for a long time: 1. Failure to change transmission fluid for an extended period can lead to abnormal wear and severe oil degradation in the transmission; 2. Prolonged lack of transmission fluid changes can cause the fluid to age and deteriorate, not only increasing vehicle fuel consumption but also shortening the transmission's service life; 3. Not changing transmission fluid for a long time can cause the fluid in the transmission to become granular, blocking oil passages and damaging the valve body, directly affecting system oil pressure and power transmission, resulting in delayed response and gear shift shocks in the transmission.
