Q) Why and when should I change my transmission fluid?
A) Your transmission is a major component of the driveline, it transfers power from the engine to the wheels of the vehicle. This is accomplished through the use of gears, clutch packs and fluids within the transmission. The fluids are under constant pressure, lubricating and cooling internal transmission parts as you drive. Over time, the fluid picks up contaminants and begins to break down, causing it to lose ability to properly lubricate and cool your transmission. The proper time to flush your transmission fluid coordinates with the manufacturers specifications.
