How many liters of transmission fluid does the Teana need?
2 Answers
Teana transmission fluid generally requires 4L-5.5L. Below is relevant information: 1. Replacement interval: Manual transmissions typically require transmission fluid replacement every 60,000 kilometers, with the amount depending on the vehicle model and replacement method. When replacing automatic transmission fluid, the old fluid is drained by removing the transmission pan screw, and new fluid is added, which only replaces about 70% of the old fluid. 2. Classification: Transmission fluids are categorized into manual and automatic transmission fluids due to different transmission designs. Each transmission design has specific technical requirements, and even the same transmission model configured in different vehicles may require different original manufacturer-specified transmission fluids.
When I used to change the transmission fluid for my Teana, I typically added around 7.5 liters. This amount is quite accurate—too little can cause the transmission to overheat and wear out, while too much may lead to oil leaks and damage the machine. I remember one time when I went to the 4S shop for an oil change, the technician specifically used a circulation machine to flush out all the old fluid before refilling it, which worked really well—the car drove much smoother afterward. The type of transmission fluid is also important. Most Teanas use CVT transmission fluid, so it’s best to stick with the manufacturer-recommended brand and not switch randomly, as it can affect the lifespan. I usually change it every 60,000 kilometers, costing a few hundred bucks, but it helps prevent major repairs—saving money and giving peace of mind. Doing it yourself is quite challenging; you’d need tools and a measuring cup, so beginners are better off going to a professional shop for a hassle-free and safe experience.
