How to Check the Transmission Fluid Level?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid level can be checked using the transmission dipstick. Introduction to transmission fluid: Transmission fluid, also known as gear oil, is a type of transmission lubricant used for lubricating various gears in the transmission, reduction gearbox, and differential. It helps prevent gear surface wear, sintering, and other issues, prolongs service life, and improves power transmission efficiency. Operating in relatively low-temperature environments, transmission fluid is strongly alkaline. Transmission fluid replacement cycle: Generally, automatic transmission vehicles require transmission fluid replacement every 3-4 years or when the mileage reaches 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Manual transmission vehicles may need earlier replacement, and specific intervals can be referred to in the vehicle maintenance manual. Exceeding these time or mileage limits will significantly reduce the lubrication effectiveness of the transmission fluid, and the transmission temperature will correspondingly increase during operation.
