Is Changing Transmission Fluid Beneficial?
1 Answers
Changing transmission fluid is beneficial. The details are as follows: 1. Benefits of changing transmission fluid: (1) Transmission fluid has functions such as cleaning, lubrication, rust prevention, and heat dissipation. Regularly changing the transmission fluid can clean and lubricate the gearshift system, extend the lifespan of the transmission components, ensure the normal operation of the transmission, and make gear shifts smoother and more effortless, possibly restoring the feeling of a new car. (2) From another perspective, changing transmission fluid can also reduce fuel consumption, meaning that after changing the transmission fluid, the car may become more fuel-efficient. Of course, it is important to use high-quality transmission fluid and avoid counterfeit or inferior products. It is best to use the specific type recommended for your vehicle and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for replacement. 2. Consequences of not changing transmission fluid: (1) If the transmission fluid is not changed for a long time, it will not only affect the operation but also degrade the performance of the transmission fluid, reducing its lubrication effect. This can lead to accelerated wear of transmission components and an increased likelihood of malfunctions. (2) Over time, the transmission fluid will accumulate impurities, making the transmission dirty. This can result in higher shift RPMs and increased fuel consumption.
