Reasons Why the Transmission Fluid in the Regal Doesn't Need to Be Replaced

Reasons why the transmission fluid in the Regal doesn't need to be replaced: Since most transmission fluids cannot be mixed, and the primary function of transmission fluid is to lubricate gears, replacement is generally unnecessary as long as there are no leaks. Relevant information about the Regal is as follows: 1. The Regal is one of the models under the Buick brand. 2. Its exterior adopts Buick's new sculptural aesthetic design language, featuring a larger-sized winged chrome grille that extends horizontally from the centerline. The shield-shaped upper grille complements the trapezoidal lower grille with its outward expansion, and together with the air curtain designs on both sides, the front face presents a wide-body, low-slung sporty demeanor.
Some people think that the Buick Regal's transmission fluid doesn't need to be changed, mainly because the manufacturer's manual labels it as "lifetime maintenance-free." They believe that new technology ensures better sealing and prevents the fluid from deteriorating, saving money and hassle. However, in actual driving, metal debris can accumulate inside the transmission, and as the fluid ages and thickens, it may affect smooth gear shifting. Long-term neglect can harm the car's lifespan. A friend of mine learned this the hard way—trusting this claim ended up costing a fortune in transmission repairs. So, regular inspections are safer; don’t blindly trust the maintenance-free label.
