Checking transmission fluid is a crucial part of maintaining your vehicle’s transmission system. Transmission fluid lubricates the moving parts of the transmission, helps to dissipate heat, and protects against wear and tear. Over time, transmission fluid can become contaminated with metal shavings, dirt, and other debris, which can reduce its effectiveness and lead to transmission problems.
Checking transmission fluid regularly can help you to identify and address potential transmission issues early on, before they cause serious damage. It is generally recommended to check your transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, or according to your vehicle’s manufacturer’s recommendations.
