Additional Information About the Service
The automatic transmission is one of the most important and expensive parts of a vehicle, second only to the engine. For it to function properly, a special fluid is needed to lubricate internal components and facilitate smooth gear shifts. Over time, the fluid becomes contaminated and loses its properties, causing the transmission to perform poorly. This is why regular fluid replacement is so important.
Preparation and Diagnosis
Our specialists first check the condition of the fluid and the transmission. If leaks or dirt are noticed, it's a sign that it's time to replace the fluid and filter. We use specialized tools and equipment to carefully drain the used fluid without damaging any components. We also inspect the drain plug gasket - if it is worn, we will replace it to avoid future leaks.
The Fluid Replacement Process
After draining the old fluid, we install a new oil filter, as it collects small particles and contaminants that may not be fully captured by the fluid. Then we fill in fresh fluid that meets the recommendations of your vehicle's manufacturer. This ensures that the transmission will operate smoothly and without issues. The entire process takes about an hour and is conducted in clean conditions to prevent dirt from entering the transmission.
Checking and Recommendations
After the fluid replacement, we check the fluid level and conduct a short test drive to ensure that the transmission shifts correctly and there are no leaks. If everything is in order, we recommend following replacement intervals - typically every 30,000 kilometers after the first change at around 100,000 kilometers of mileage. This helps avoid serious breakdowns and extends the life of your transmission.
Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the fluid in your automatic transmission are key to the long and reliable operation of your vehicle.
