What is Gravity Transmission Fluid Change?

[DelEmilio]

Gravity fluid change involves loosening the drain plug of the transmission oil pan to allow the internal fluid to drain out by gravity, then adding new transmission fluid through the fill port. Below is an introduction to related content: Gravity fluid change: The advantage of this method is its relatively simple operation and lower fluid consumption. The drawback is incomplete drainage, which leads to mixing of old and new fluids, thereby shortening the transmission maintenance interval. A significant amount of old fluid remains in the transmission, causing the newly added fluid to mix with the old, which reduces the transmission's service interval. Pros and cons of gravity fluid change: This method is simple to perform, uses less fluid, and is relatively cost-effective. However, the high residual amount of old fluid leads to mixing with new fluid after refilling, shortening the transmission maintenance cycle.
