Is It Time to Deal With Your Automatic Transmission Oil? Here Are the Most Common Situations

You don’t have to wait until the problem gets worse. Changing the oil in an automatic transmission is often a simple step that significantly helps both how it runs and how long it lasts.

 

Who This Service Is For

Signs the Oil May No Longer Be in Good Condition

Not sure? Give us a call! We’ll briefly ask about your car and advise whether an oil change, inspection, or diagnostics is the right step.

 

Up to 80% of automatic transmission failures occur precisely because of neglected oil changes.

If the transmission jerks significantly or a warning light is on, we recommend diagnostics first.

How Often Should You Change the Oil in an Automatic Transmission?

Over time, the oil in an automatic transmission ages: it operates under heat and pressure, and picks up small particles from normal wear. Regular changes are therefore one of the best ways to prevent costly failures.

For optimal performance and transmission lifespan, we recommend changing the oil every 60,000 – 80,000 km.

Do you drive in the city, tow a trailer, or drive in demanding conditions? We recommend shortening the interval to avoid problems and expensive repairs.

What About "Lifetime Oil"?

Manufacturers sometimes describe oil as “lifetime,” but in practice this often means lifetime under ideal conditions and following the service schedule. If you want your transmission to last longer and shift smoothly, changing the oil at a reasonable interval is safe, standard maintenance.

If you’re not sure about the right interval for your car, just give us a call. We’ll advise based on your transmission type and mileage.
