How often should the transmission fluid of the Tiida be changed?
2 Answers
Tiida should have its transmission fluid changed every 40,000 kilometers. Here is some information about transmission fluid: 1. Transmission fluid keeps the transmission system clean and ensures it operates normally, while also extending the lifespan of the vehicle's transmission components. 2. Depending on the structure, transmission fluid can be divided into manual transmission fluid and automatic transmission fluid. Automatic transmission fluid is also known as ATF, which serves as both a transmission fluid and a hydraulic fluid, and can be used in different parts of the vehicle. Additional information: 1. Body dimensions. The Tiida measures 4393mm in length, 1766mm in width, and 1539mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. 2. Transmission. The drive type is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension.
My Nissan Tiida has been running for over seven years, and I strictly follow the manual's recommendation for transmission fluid changes—every 4 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Since city driving involves frequent starts and stops, contaminants can accumulate easily, so I proactively check the fluid every 50,000 kilometers. After a change, gear shifts become noticeably smoother, extending the transmission's lifespan. Neglecting maintenance can lead to fluid degradation, increased friction, gear damage, or even breakdowns. A friend of mine delayed until 100,000 kilometers, resulting in transmission slippage and a 5,000+ RMB repair bill. Regular upkeep not only saves money but also enhances driving comfort, especially on mountain roads or when fully loaded. You can easily inspect the fluid yourself—if it turns dark or thickens, address it early to keep your car in top condition.
