Should Transmission Fluid Be Changed at 80,000 Kilometers?
1 Answers
For manual transmissions, it is not necessary to change the transmission fluid yet; you can wait until 100,000 kilometers. However, for automatic transmissions, the transmission fluid should be changed at 80,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in cooling, lubricating, and transmitting power within the transmission. If the transmission fluid is not changed for an extended period, it can lead to clogged oil passages and increased oil pressure. At 80,000 kilometers, the following maintenance items should be performed: In addition to the regular oil and filter changes, consider cleaning the throttle body, replacing the spark plugs and brake fluid, and changing the engine accessory belt and timing belt, among other maintenance tasks.
