How Often Should the Transmission Fluid of the New Sylphy Be Replaced?

[DiRobert]

The transmission fluid of the new Sylphy is generally recommended to be replaced every three years or 80,000 kilometers. There is no unified standard for this. It is advisable to have it checked every one to two years to ensure there are no issues. If you notice poor acceleration, a noticeable lag when releasing the throttle, high fuel consumption, or visibly darkened transmission fluid, it should be replaced promptly. CVT transmission fluid serves three main functions during operation: 1. Lubrication: This function is easy to understand. The lubrication of gears and the steel belt is essential and relies on CVT transmission fluid. 2. Heat Dissipation: During CVT operation, the steel belt and the conical pulley drive the movement of the driven pulley through friction. The heat generated by this friction is carried away by the transmission fluid to ensure the steel belt and conical pulley operate at lower temperatures. 3. Hydraulic Fluid Function: The pressure adjustment of the conical pulley and steel belt is achieved through a hydraulic pump, and the transmission fluid plays a crucial role in transmitting this pressure.
