How often should the transmission fluid be changed for a Focus?
1 Answers
Replace every 60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, ensuring proper operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the drivetrain. Failure to change transmission fluid regularly may lead to the following issues: 1. Deterioration and evaporation under prolonged high-speed/high-temperature operation, accelerating mechanical wear and potentially damaging internal transmission components. 2. Cold-start power loss when accelerating from standstill. 3. Occasional slight slippage during driving. 4. Thickened fluid may clog transmission cooler, causing overheating and accelerated wear.
