It is very important to maintain the Fluid in your Transmission. We all want our transmissions to work well and last a long time. It is as important as changing the oil in your engine. Here are some key reasons why Transmission Fluid Maintenance is so important:
- Proper lubrication reduces friction. It also reduces wear and heat among moving parts.
- Cooling the Unit – Fluid circulates through the transmission. Moving parts create heat due to friction and it helps keep the Transmission cool. Overheating can cause premature wear on all the working components. A cool running Transmission is important for longevity.
- Contamination Prevention – Over time, fluid becomes dirty. The fluid becomes contaminated with metal shavings, carbon, and debris from wear and tear. Regular fluid changes remove contamination.
- Neglect Causes Failures – Neglecting fluid changes can lead to faster wear. It causes sludge, build-up, and eventually failure.
We recommend Keeping your vehicle on a regular schedule of fluid exchanges for all your fluid systems. This includes the Engine, Transmission, Power Steering, the Differentials, the Transfer Case, Brakes, Fuel System, and the Cooling System.
