Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchange
What is an Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchange?
Automatic transmissions work by transmitting power from the engine to
the wheels through a fluid medium. This fluid also lubricates moving
parts and cools the transmission. Over time the fluid breaks down,
becomes contaminated and needs to be replaced.
During an Automatic Fluid Exchange, 100% of your used transmission
fluid is exchanged and replaced with new transmission
fluid.
What are the benefits of transmission servicing?
- Extends the life of the transmission by providing resistance to
oxidation and the formation of sludge and varnish
- Fresh fluid with anti-wear properties prevents wear or scoring of
the gears, clutch bands and discs
- Promotes smooth shifting
- Minimizes risk of premature transmission failure
How often should an Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchange
be performed?
Grease Monkey recommends this procedure in accordance with the car
manufacturer's recommended mileage intervals.
This is generally every 15,000 miles for cars driven under severe
conditions, such as stop and go traffic, mountain driving, trailer
towing and extreme heat and cold.
For cars driven primarily on highways, automatic transmission fluid
exchange is recommended every 30,000 miles.
Your Grease Monkey manager will check the resource manual for the
proper mileage interval for your specific car.
