Is It Important To Change The

Transmission Fluid ?

As per owner's manual, a motorist should change the transmission oil in every 30,000-60,000miles.

As per manufacturers, the fluid change always depends on whether you have manual or automatic transmission.

The motorist should be thorough about the recommendations regarding all the parts of the vehicle in owner's manual.

There are different symptoms that shows whether the transmission is faulty or not:-

:- If you hear a grinding noise coming from underneath the vehicle when you start the engine.

:- If you experience an automatic gear sleeping without your intervention, then it's also a sign of transmission

problem.

:- You will feel a roughness while shifting gear is also a normal symptom of transmission issue.

:- If the transmission is guilty, then it also delays the engagement rate of vehicle at time of stopping and moving

after start.

:- Transmissions are sealed units of vehicle, so if you witnessed a leaking or oil spotting then make sure to check the

transmission asap.

:- When you smell a light burning odor coming from under the hood, then its right time have a fluid check.

:- When you feel the vehicle is shaking at all the speed rate, then that's also a sign of transmission issue.

:- When you check the fluid with dipstick, if it looks cloudy, thick and foul smelling, then its time to change it.

The effects of not changing transmission fluid on vehicle :-

:- Dirty transmission oil prevents the transmission from developing exact pressure for shifting gear in right time.

:- The transmission issue gradually leads to excessive wear and premature failure of clutches and bands.

:- A proper transmission fluid keeps the transmission

temperature in check but when it got dirty, it clogs the cooler lines and ultimately

start to overheat the vehicle.

:- Dirty transmission also affects vehicles mileage by slowing down the friction within components.

Some tips to improve the fuel mileage by replacing transmission fluid :-

:- If your vehicle's owner manual allows you to use synthetic oil, make sure to use the best grade transmission

oil.

As per some research, by changing the normal blend to synthetic blend ---- it delivers a more 1-2% better fuel

economy than previous one.

:- The synthetic transmission fluid also reduces the transmission temperature which ultimately increases fuel economy by

efficiently running without any issue.

:- The regularity of changing transmission fluid in exact time interval helps in increase the fuel economy.
