Your transmission is a crucial component of your vehicle, delivering power from your engine to the drive wheels. Transmissions require routine maintenance to continue performing at their best. Even though your transmission doesn't require maintenance as often as your oil, staying up to date with your transmission service ensures you avoid preventable damage and retain the highest value for your vehicle.

The Importance of Transmission Service

You can think of transmission service as similar to oil service since they both require fluids that need flushing and replacing. Transmission fluid lubricates the gears to control heat and friction in your transmission. Through use and time, the transmission fluid becomes less effective at maintaining the right levels of heat and friction.

If you're transmission fluid is not flushed and replaced, the heat and friction can damage your transmission. We recommend you flush and replace your transmission fluid every 15 months or 15,500 miles, whichever comes first. However, we recommend you consult your owner's manual and speak with our service specialists to determine the best interval for your vehicle. Your vehicle may need transmission service sooner if you frequently tow or drive in hot weather around Porterville.
