How Often Does My Car Need Transmission Service?
While make and model factor into just how often your vehicle needs transmission service, a good rule of thumb is to flush your vehicle's transmission every 60,000 miles. However, we encourage referring to your vehicle owner's manual to get the most specific service interval for your model year.
If you haven't had your car's transmission inspected in a while, our service team can take a look to determine its condition. Fresh transmission fluid should be a relatively bright pink or red - if your vehicle's is dark or looks to be filled with rust, the system should be flushed out as soon as possible.
The Importance of Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in the overall operation of a vehicle, lubricating the automatic transmission. Made up of mineral oil or a synthetic blend, this important fluid battles corrosion and oxidation.
Failing to keep up with the condition of your transmission or transmission fluid could negatively affect the power your engine sends to the wheels. Since automatic transmissions shift gears as you increase or decrease speed, it's important for the fluid to be in a good enough condition to do so consistently.
