Transmission Fluid Exchange Service by Brakes Plus

• Your automatic transmission fluid should be checked every 3,000 miles and its level, color and smell noted. Your fluid and filter should be changed every 12 months or 12,000 miles.

• Low fluid will literally always indicate a leak or a malfunction in the transmission, or its related components. You should be aware of changes in the driving characteristics of your car- Late or early shifting, slipping or unusual noise of any kind. Almost quiet vehicle, which operates properly, is a safe vehicle.

• Excessive heat is a major cause of premature transmission failure. Rocking the vehicle back and forth when stuck in snow or sand will often have the transmission operating in excess of 400 degrees. Heavy loads will cause overheating and reduce transmission life as well. You should use caution not to exceed the vehicle manufactures weight limits.
