How Often Should the Transmission Fluid in an Audi Be Changed?
1 Answers
Generally, for conventional automatic transmissions, the fluid should be changed approximately every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. Here are the details: 1. Function of Automatic Transmission Fluid: It serves to lubricate and facilitate gear shifting. 2. Risks of Not Changing It Regularly: (1) Poor lubrication can lead to severe component wear, shortening the transmission's lifespan. (2) Particles in the fluid can clog oil passages and damage valve bodies, directly affecting system oil pressure and power transmission, resulting in delayed responses and rough gear shifts. (3) Aging and degradation of the transmission fluid can increase fuel consumption.
