Is It Necessary to Change Transmission Fluid?

Transmission fluid must be changed. Below are specific details about transmission fluid: 1. Reasons: Due to the special road conditions where vehicles operate, such as traffic congestion and poor air quality, transmission fluid is prone to oxidation, deterioration, and reduced viscosity. This increases wear between friction plates, raises fuel consumption, and affects performance. Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) serves two main functions: transmitting hydraulic power and providing cleaning lubrication. If transmission fluid is not changed for a long time, it can lead to larger particle sizes or the generation of debris, which may block oil passages, damage the valve body, clog pistons, and even cause gear shifting impacts. Therefore, transmission fluid must be changed regularly. 2. Interval: The transmission is a highly precise assembly with a complex structure. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 40,000 kilometers. In areas with good usage conditions, it can be changed every 80,000 kilometers (or 48 months). However, in mainland China, it is advised to change the transmission fluid every 40,000 kilometers (or 24 months). Sometimes, depending on usage, it may be recommended to change the transmission fluid every 20,000 kilometers (or 12 months).

Can You Press the Brake Before the Clutch?

No. Specific details are as follows: In driving school: Instructors require students to press the clutch before the brake. The reason instructors ask students to do this is that when the car is idling, braking without pressing the clutch can easily cause the car to stall. Therefore, to ensure students pass the test, instructors require them to press the clutch before the brake. Clutch: It is a device that connects or disconnects the power transmission between the engine and the gearbox. Incorrect operation: Pressing the clutch before the brake or pressing both simultaneously is a common mistake made by many beginners. At low speeds, using these methods can avoid jitter or stalling caused by gear shifting. However, at high speeds, doing so can wear out the clutch and damage the clutch plate. In severe cases, it may even lead to brake failure, resulting in tragic accidents.

What to Do If the Daytime Running Lights Stay On?
