How often should the transmission fluid be changed for the 2015 Regal?
2 Answers
The transmission fluid for the 2015 Regal should be changed approximately every two years or 60,000 kilometers. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Remove the transmission guard plate, loosen the screws on the oil pan, and drain the old transmission fluid; 2. Unscrew the screws of the oil pan and remove the oil pan; 3. Apply sealant to the new oil pan and tighten it; 4. Loosen the screw on the left side of the transmission to add new fluid. The 2015 Regal is a mid-size car with body dimensions of: length 4843mm, width 1856mm, height 1484mm, wheelbase of 2737mm, fuel tank capacity of 70 liters, and trunk capacity of 442 liters.
The transmission oil change interval for the 15th-generation Regal, based on my personal experience, is generally every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers or every 3 to 5 years. This effectively protects the transmission's lifespan. If you drive in harsh conditions, such as frequent city traffic jams or regular heavy towing, it's recommended to shorten the interval to every 30,000 kilometers to avoid excessive wear caused by high oil temperatures. I've noticed many car owners overlook this, leading to costly transmission repairs. Regular oil changes actually save money and hassle in the long run. Additionally, using genuine oil recommended by the manufacturer is crucial, as poor-quality oil can shorten the change interval. In summary, adjusting based on the maintenance manual and actual driving habits is a wise approach.
