Why does fuel consumption increase after changing transmission oil?
1 Answers
An increase in fuel consumption after changing transmission oil is similar to the break-in period of a new car. The transmission needs an adaptation period after the oil change, and temporary higher fuel consumption during this phase is normal. The transmission is a crucial component in vehicles, responsible for gear shifting, torque conversion, enabling reverse movement, and allowing the car to remain stationary at idle. Transmission oil serves to maintain the cleanliness of the transmission system, ensuring proper operation and extending the service life of transmission components. Depending on their structures, transmission oils can be categorized into manual transmission fluid and automatic transmission fluid.
