Automatic
Transmission Fluid Exchange Service
What is an Automatic
Transmission Fluid Exchange Service?
Automatic transmissions work by
transmitting power from the engine to the wheels through a fluid medium.
This fluid also lubricates moving parts and cools the transmission. Over
time, the fluid breaks down, becomes contaminated and needs to be
serviced.
During an Automatic Transmission Fluid
Exchange Service, nearly 100% of your used transmission fluid is exchanged
and replaced with new transmission fluid.
What are the benefits of an
Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchange Service?
- Extends the life of the transmission by
providing resistance to oxidation and the formation of sludge and
varnish.
- Fresh fluid with anti-wear properties
prevents wear or scoring of the gears, clutch bands and discs.
- Promotes smooth shifting.
- Minimizes risk of premature transmission
failure.
- Maintains vehicle warranty requirements.
