How Often Should the Transmission Fluid in a Truck Be Changed?
1 Answers
Truck transmission fluid is typically changed every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Different brands of trucks have varying transmission structures and configurations, so it's best to refer to the maintenance manual provided with the vehicle for specific replacement intervals. If the transmission fluid is not changed for an extended period, it can degrade, increasing the load on the transmission, accelerating wear and tear, and ultimately shortening the transmission's lifespan. Here is some relevant information about transmissions: 1. Overview: A transmission is a device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. It adjusts the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft based on different working conditions. A gear-driven transmission generally consists of a housing and multiple gear pairs. 2. Function: While driving, a vehicle needs to adapt to various operating conditions, requiring changes in driving force and speed within a certain range. Since the torque and speed range of existing engines cannot meet this requirement, a transmission is installed to address this need.
