How many kilometers should transmission fluid be changed?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid should generally be changed every 80,000 kilometers. The effects of not changing transmission fluid include: 1. Reduced power; 2. Difficulty in starting; 3. Overheating of the transmission leading to damage; 4. Gear shifting becomes jerky and uneven, with abnormal noises from the transmission fluid. The functions of transmission fluid are: 1. Keeping the gear system clean; 2. Lubricating the transmission components; 3. Cooling effect; 4. Sealing effect. Depending on its structure, transmission fluid can be classified into manual transmission fluid and automatic transmission fluid. The reason for changing transmission fluid is that prolonged use reduces its lubricating and sealing properties.
