Automatic Transmission Fluid Service
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is automatic transmission fluid service, and why is it important?
Automatic transmission fluid service involves draining or flushing the old transmission fluid and replacing it with new fluid, and sometimes replacing the filter.
It helps:
- Keep the transmission cool and lubricated
- Prevent slipping, harsh shifting, or transmission damage
- Extend the life of your transmission
2. How often should I have my transmission fluid changed?
It depends on your vehicle and driving conditions, but generally:
Every 30,000 to 60,000 miles for most vehicles
Some newer models may allow up to 100,000 miles with “lifetime” fluid — but it's still wise to service it sooner, especially under severe driving conditions (towing, stop-and-go traffic, hot climates)
Always check your owner’s manual or ask a trusted technician.
3. What are signs that my transmission fluid needs servicing?
Watch for:
- Delayed or hard shifting
- Slipping gears
- Strange noises (whining or grinding)
- Transmission overheating
- Dark, dirty, or burnt-smelling fluid
Regular fluid checks and service can prevent these issues.
4. What’s the difference between a transmission fluid change and a flush?
A fluid change replaces about 40–60% of the fluid by draining the pan
- A flush replaces nearly all the fluid using a machine to push out old fluid while adding new
- Flushes can be more thorough but should only be done on healthy transmissions to avoid dislodging debris
Ask your technician which method is best for your vehicle's condition.
5. How much does automatic transmission fluid service cost?
Costs vary depending on the service type and vehicle:
Fluid change: $100–$200
Fluid flush: $150–$300
Filter/gasket replacement: May add $50–$100
High-end or performance vehicles may cost more due to specialty fluids or filters.
