What is the recommended replacement interval for the transmission fluid in a Grand Cherokee?
1 Answers
The transmission fluid in a Grand Cherokee should typically be replaced every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers under normal driving conditions. For precise intervals, please refer to the vehicle's maintenance manual. Failure to replace aged transmission fluid will reduce its lubricating properties, leading to ineffective lubrication that may compromise the hydraulic system's performance and cause unstable transmission pressure. Transmission fluid is essential for maintaining a clean transmission system, ensuring proper operation and prolonging the lifespan of transmission components. There are three mainstream methods for replacing automatic transmission fluid: the first method is similar to an oil change, where the transmission drain plug is removed to drain and refill the fluid; the second involves removing the oil pan for draining and refilling; the third and more advanced method utilizes a specialized flushing machine for automatic transmission fluid replacement.
