Is it necessary to change the transmission fluid for an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
It is necessary to change the transmission fluid for an automatic transmission regularly. If the transmission fluid is not changed for a long time, it will accelerate the wear of the transmission and may also cause damage to the gear shift control mechanism. When changing the transmission fluid, it is recommended to use the circulating machine method, which can remove more than 90% of the old transmission fluid. It is essential to choose the original manufacturer's fluid when changing the transmission fluid, as it has been tested by the manufacturer to ensure it meets the transmission's requirements under all operating conditions. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in cars: dual-clutch transmission (DCT), automatic transmission (AT), and continuously variable transmission (CVT).
