Checking Your Transmission Fluid – INFOGRAPHIC

Why Your Transmission Fluid Matters?

Car Maintenace is always something that should never be taken lightly. As car owners, it is our duty to take care of and preserve our vehicles. When you service your transmission the main service you need to get done is to flush your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles or as recommended in the car owner’s manual.

It’s important to keep an eye on how the fluid is doing. The transmission fluid lubricates all the gears, seals, and gaskets so if it gets too dirty, foul-smelling, or burnt up, it will significantly impact the performance of your car and break down all the parts.

On the other hand, if your transmission fluid level is low, then your car won’t be getting enough lubrication. If it’s really low, then there is a leak somewhere.

Checking your transmission fluid is as easy as checking your engine oil, requiring some of the same steps. Find out how to check your transmission fluid levels and quality with the infographic below.
