Should the Transmission Fluid Be Changed During the First Maintenance?
1 Answers
The transmission fluid does not need to be changed during the first maintenance. Generally, it is recommended to replace the transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to transmission fluid: 1. Function: Transmission fluid has functions such as cleaning, lubrication, rust prevention, and heat dissipation. Regularly changing the transmission fluid can clean and lubricate the gear system, extend the lifespan of the transmission components, ensure the normal operation of the transmission, and make gear shifting smoother. 2. Consequences of Not Changing: Failure to change the automatic transmission fluid regularly can lead to the following issues: impurities forming due to chemical changes in the automatic transmission fluid, causing blockages in the oil passages and affecting gear shifting functionality. Prolonged high-temperature operation reduces the lubricating properties of the automatic transmission fluid, increasing the risk of clutch plate wear. Over time, the anti-oxidant performance of the automatic transmission fluid deteriorates, making components more susceptible to corrosion.
