Automatic Transmission Fluid
Pressurized automatic transmission fluid is one of the most important components in an automatic transmission, because it helps to shift from one gear to the next, it lubricates every mechanical part within the transmission, and prevents it from overheating. With onboard vehicle computers and sensors, it is easy to monitor and control the flow of transmission fluid flowing through the transmission. It is crucial to change your automatic transmission fluid every 30,000 to 50,000 miles to maintain a healthy and long-lasting vehicle.
