Learn you need to change your transmission fluid at Mandal Buick GMC.
When Should You Change Transmission Fluid?
The fluid in the transmission is critically important for keeping a transmission from getting too hot, and it should be maintained regularly. Does it make a difference as to what transmission my car has? Whether your car has a manual, CVT, automatic, new, or even a used transmission, the fluid in the transmission keeps it lubricated so it can operate efficiently. Every vehicle manufacturer has its own maintenance schedule for servicing the transmission fluid, but if you notice any variations in the way the transmission operates, then changing or flushing the fluid might help solve the problem
How Often Does The Transmission Fluid Need To Be Replaced?
Sadly, there isn’t a perfect answer as to how long does transmission fluid last. If you own a weekend cruiser that sits in an air-conditioned environment, you might possibly be able to go several years without needing to flush or change the transmission fluid. If you have a heavy-duty pickup truck that gets worked way too hard, then you might consider flushing your transmission fluid more often. Regardless, if you have concerns about when you should to change or flush your fluid, then it’s probably worth getting it. Our trusted mechanics will investigate the issue and suggest the correct service and get you back on the road, quickly.
Transmission Flush Versus Change
It doesn’t matter what you drive, eventually, your transmission fluid will get old and stop working as efficiently. So, which is the right option?
Transmission Fluid Change – This simple process involves letting the transmission fluid drain from the transmission pan under your vehicle. While it cannot get rid of all of the fluid, a transmission fluid change will cost less than a flush.
Flushing The Used Transmission Fluid – This procedure uses specific machinery that will suction the used fluid from the system. A transmission fluid flush generally has a higher price tag but is a more complete way of removing the used transmission fluid.
Each car and situation is unique, let our experienced mechanics examine your car, and they’ll give you an estimate of the unique services your vehicle needs.
Signs Of Automatic Transmission Problems
If you got your vehicle new, then you’ll know the full service history and if the vehicle is up-to-date on its scheduled maintenance. However, if you bought a used car, then you may not have the service records to know if and when the transmission was last serviced. Other than the obvious check engine light, if you observe slipping gears, transmission whine, delayed shifts, or poor acceleration, then you should consider having the transmission fluid changed or perhaps even flushed.
