How often should the transmission fluid of an Audi be changed?
1 Answers
Generally, for traditional automatic transmissions, the fluid should be replaced approximately every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. Below are the hazards of not changing the transmission fluid for an extended period: Quality aspect: Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can lead to abnormal wear and severe deterioration of the fluid. Lifespan aspect: Not changing the transmission fluid for a long time can cause the fluid to age and degrade, which not only increases fuel consumption but also shortens the transmission's service life. Safety aspect: Extended periods without changing the transmission fluid can cause the fluid to form particles, clogging the oil passages and damaging the valve body, directly affecting the system's oil pressure and power transmission, resulting in delayed responses and harsh shifting.
