How to Check if Transmission Fluid Needs Replacement

[VonRuby]

Methods to check if transmission fluid needs replacement: 1. Check replacement interval: According to the transmission fluid replacement cycle, transmission fluids generally need replacement every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Manual transmission fluid should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers, while automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. 2. Increased fuel consumption: If you experience increased fuel consumption, sluggish acceleration, or delayed gear shifting while driving, it is recommended to service and replace the fluid. 3. Presence of impurities in transmission fluid: If the transmission fluid contains excessive metal particles and debris, the lubrication performance of the transmission will significantly deteriorate, leading to severe wear. This condition typically occurs in vehicles that have exceeded 100,000 kilometers without maintenance, so replacement is advised.
