How to Check Transmission Fluid?
1 Answers
Detecting transmission fluid involves the following steps: 1. Let the engine idle to warm up the fluid to around 50 degrees Celsius; 2. Move the gear lever through each position for 2 seconds to ensure the torque converter and all shift actuators are filled with hydraulic fluid, then shift to park; 3. Check the transmission fluid level using the dipstick—normal fluid level should be between the high and low marks. The dangers of not changing transmission fluid for a long time include: 1. Damage to the transmission's shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Impaired transmission operation, leading to damage of the valve body.
