How Often Should the Transmission Fluid in a Car Be Changed?
1 Answers
When a vehicle reaches a mileage of 40,000 kilometers or has been in use for 2 years, the transmission fluid needs to be changed. However, if the owner has purchased a Japanese model, the replacement interval can be slightly extended, and the fluid can be changed when the mileage reaches approximately 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Below is a related introduction about transmission fluid: The function of transmission fluid: It is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, lubricates to extend the lifespan of the transmission device, and provides effective lubrication even under low-temperature conditions, reducing oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Characteristics of transmission fluid: Most transmission fluids can be used in automatic transmissions currently available on the market. In fact, each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicles will vary in torque, weight, speed, structure, etc. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid. Different transmission fluids are one of the factors affecting the quality of gear shifting.
