How often should I flush my transmission fluid?

As a general rule of thumb, we recommend flushing your transmission fluid every 2 years or 30,000 miles. By having the fluid changed at this interval, you are helping it provide optimal protection of the internal components of the transmission, decreasing your odds of having premature transmission failure.

Regularly changing your transmission fluid makes your transmission last longer.

Now, there are some cars, like ones equipped with a CVT transmission, that have to be serviced in a very particular way, and usually not as frequently as every 2 years. So there are exceptions to the rule. But if you're not sure when it was last done, or if you've even had it done at all, it never hurts to get a mechanic's opinion just to be safe. Stop by anytime and we'll check the quality of your fluid for no charge.

This is really a useful information. I don’t know whether to change the transmission fluid. But by reading this I came to know. Thanks for sharing and is there any need to use the fluid of the same company?

I am glad to know that transmission fluid should be flushed after an interval of about 30,000 miles. Transmission fluid lubricates different components of the transmission. However, deposition of debris and other types of contaminants reduces its ability to do so. So, the quality of the transmission fluid should be inspected at a regular interval and if necessary should be flushed to ensure the smoother performance of the vehicle.

Transmission fluid loses its ability of lubrication due to the deposition of different types of contaminants in it. Different types of lubricants used in the vehicle along with transmission fluid play a crucial role in the performance of the vehicle. However, the physical and chemical properties of such fluid are affected by the deposition of debris. Flushing of such types of lubricant after a certain time interval is really essential to ensure better lubrication.
