Is it necessary to change transmission fluid?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid must be changed, and the consequences of not changing it are: 1. The transmission fluid will become thicker, blocking the transmission cooler; 2. It will cause the fluid to deteriorate and reduce viscosity, leading to larger particles or debris that can clog the oil passages; 3. It will accelerate the wear of mechanical components, damaging the automatic transmission planetary gear set and differential; 4. It will corrode the gears inside the transmission. The method for changing transmission fluid is: 1. Remove the transmission guard plate, loosen the screws on the oil pan, and drain the old transmission fluid; 2. Unscrew the screws on the oil pan and remove the oil pan; 3. Apply sealant to the new oil pan and tighten it; 4. Loosen the screw on the left side of the transmission to add new fluid.
