Transmission protection

What Transmission Fluid Does and Why It Needs Changing

Transmission fluid lubricates, cools, and cleans the internal components of your automatic or continuously variable transmission. It transmits hydraulic pressure that engages gears and enables smooth shifting. Over time, transmission fluid degrades from heat, friction, and contamination. Degraded fluid loses its ability to protect gears, clutch packs, and seals, which can lead to rough shifting, slipping, overheating, and premature transmission failure.

A transmission replacement is one of the most expensive vehicle repairs, making regular fluid changes at Complete Auto Maintenance Centers a cost-effective way to extend transmission life.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Transmission Fluid

Most manufacturers recommend transmission fluid changes every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Vehicles that tow, operate in heavy stop-and-go traffic, or drive in extreme temperatures may need service sooner. Complete Auto Maintenance Centers offers transmission fluid changes at all three locations and includes a visual fluid check as part of the 13-point inspection with every oil change.

A transmission fluid change drains the existing fluid and replaces it with fresh fluid. A transmission flush uses specialized equipment to push the old fluid out under pressure, which removes more of the degraded fluid but is more aggressive on the system. Complete Auto Maintenance Centers can help determine which approach is right for your vehicle based on its condition and manufacturer recommendation.
