Should Transmission Fluid Be Changed at 80,000 Kilometers?
1 Answers
For manual transmissions, it is not necessary to change the fluid yet; you can wait until 100,000 kilometers. However, for automatic transmissions, the transmission fluid should be changed at 80,000 kilometers. There is no fixed interval for changing a car's transmission fluid, as it varies depending on the vehicle model and the type of transmission fluid used. Generally, automatic transmission fluid should be changed every two years or after driving approximately 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Manual transmissions, being more mature in technology, have a longer service life compared to automatic transmission fluid, typically requiring a change every three years or around 100,000 kilometers. Here is some information about transmission fluid: 1. When selecting transmission fluid for replacement, strictly follow the manufacturer's requirements and try to use the specific fluid designed for your vehicle. Avoid using counterfeit or substandard transmission fluid. 2. Transmission fluid is used in a car's transmission system to clean and lubricate the gear system, prolong the life of the transmission components, and serves functions such as cleaning, lubrication, rust prevention, and heat dissipation. 3. Depending on the type of car transmission, transmission fluid can be categorized into manual transmission fluid and automatic transmission fluid.
