How Frequently Should My Transmission's Fluid Be Changed?

12th Street Auto Care Center recommends that our customers in the greater Sioux Falls area change their vehicle's transmission fluid every 3 years / 36,000 miles. The transmission technicians at 12th Street Auto Care Center recommend bringing your vehicle to our Sioux Falls auto repair shop once a year for a transmission fluid change. If your vehicle is older, or you use it for hauling heavy loads and/or towing around the Sioux Falls area, it may be required more frequently. To determine if a fluid change is needed, 12th Street Auto Care Center recommends an external diagnostic service. An external diagnostic service for a transmission includes checking the level and condition of your transmission fluid, a road test around Sioux Falls, and putting your car on a lift at our shop to check your external transmission controls and to keep your transmission, and your vehicle, performing properly.
