Is a slight oil seepage from the transmission oil pan normal?
1 Answers
Transmission oil pan slight seepage is a normal phenomenon. As the vehicle is used more and ages, wear and tear on various components increase, so oil seepage is normal. However, if there is oil leakage, it definitely indicates a damaged part that requires prompt repair. The signs that indicate the need for transmission oil replacement are: vehicle body shaking, gear shifting hesitation; the dashboard shows a transmission high-temperature warning; the car stalls; unusual noises occur. The methods for replacing transmission oil are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the oil before refilling. Directly remove the transmission oil pan to drain and refill the oil: this method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to replace automatic transmission oil: dynamic oil replacement with an intelligent circulation machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission. The hazards of not replacing transmission oil for a long time: 1. Damage to the transmission's gear shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Affects the normal operation of the transmission, leading to damage to the transmission's valve body.
