What is the lifespan of an Aisin 6AT transmission?
1 Answers
The lifespan of an Aisin 6AT transmission is approximately 200,000 kilometers, but this is under the condition that the vehicle is driven properly. For most Aisin 6AT transmissions, the transmission fluid should be replaced after the car has been used for 3 years or driven about 60,000 kilometers. If the car frequently operates in congested environments, the transmission fluid can be replaced at 50,000 kilometers. If the car is often driven on highways, the transmission fluid can be replaced at 80,000 kilometers. Methods for replacing transmission fluid: Flush method: The flush method is performed while the car is running, using specialized equipment to replace the fluid without lifting the car. This method maintains fluid circulation within the transmission, flushing out sludge and impurities deposited at the bottom of the transmission, resulting in a cleaner internal transmission. In most cases, the flush method can replace about 10 liters of fluid. Gravity drain method: The gravity drain method is performed when the car is turned off. In this method, the car is lifted, and the transmission fluid naturally flows out under gravity. This is the most common fluid replacement method, though it is less effective than the flush method. Sludge inside the transmission cannot be completely removed, and only 4-6 liters of fluid can be replaced.
