Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does “filled for life” mean for automatic transmissions?
Most makers today tell us that the automatic transmissions in our cars are “filled for life” on the assembly line and will never need servicing. But to take that advice on face value is to court disaster.
2. Why is transmission fluid important?
The fluid in an automatic transmission is its lifeblood. It helps the system run smoothly and efficiently. Ignoring it can cause significant damage over time.
3. What does transmission fluid do?
Transmission fluid cools your transmission and lubricates the gears. Over time, it degrades and loses efficiency, which can lead to damage if not replaced.
4. How often should transmission fluid be changed?
Transmission fluid should be changed at the recommended intervals to prevent premature wear and damage. Regular servicing ensures smooth performance.
5. What happens during a transmission service?
During service, old fluid is removed and replaced with clean fluid. The transmission filter is also replaced to ensure maximum performance and longevity.
