Why is the transmission fluid turning white?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid turning white is caused by water entering the transmission, which requires cleaning the transmission. Hazards of not replacing transmission fluid: 1. Damage to the transmission's shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Affects the normal operation of the transmission, leading to damage of the transmission valve body. Transmission fluid is different from engine oil. Although both fluids serve a lubricating function, their roles are distinct and should not be confused. Differences: Engine oil is a lubricant for the engine system, possessing properties such as oxidation resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion prevention. Transmission fluid, on the other hand, is primarily used to keep the gear system clean and extend the service life of internal transmission components. Due to the different structures and operating environments of the transmission and the engine, transmission fluid cannot be used as engine oil, and engine oil cannot be used as transmission fluid.
