How Much Transmission Fluid Should Be Drained?
1 Answers
Manual transmission fluid requires 2.5 liters, while automatic transmission fluid needs 4 liters, both of which are standard maintenance quantities. Transmission fluid is an oil product used to keep the gear system clean, and its functions include: 1. Ensuring normal operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the drivetrain; 2. Providing effective lubrication even at low temperatures; 3. Reducing fluid loss under harsh operating conditions. Automatic transmission fluid serves both as the hydraulic fluid for the torque converter and as the lubricant for the planetary gear structure and the hydraulic fluid for the shifting mechanism. Manual transmission fluid, also known as gear oil, is classified into five grades based on quality levels, from GL1 to GL5.
