How Often Should I Change Transmission Fluid
How Often Should I Change Transmission Fluid
Here at Alberta Honda, we offer a wide selection of new Honda vehicles available on our lot. When deciding when to change your transmission fluid, depending on what kind of transmission you have, your vehicle, and where and how you drive, it can vary. A rough estimate of when you should change your transmission fluid is every 50,000 to 100,000 kilometres.
Vehicle Maintenance and Servicing
Similar to having other parts of your vehicle serviced, your transmission needs maintenance to ensure it has extensive life and dodge transmission problems. At Alberta Honda, our transmission service consists of a complete multi-check inspection of your transmission's performance and general operation. In some cases, additional diagnostic work removing, disassembling and inspecting the transmission will be required, which is over and above our free multi-check inspection. The centre manager will estimate any needed work over and above the free multi-check inspection.
Transmission Fluid
Many transmission problems can be caused or exacerbated by an inadequate quality or quality of transmission fluid. Suppose you are driving around with either very old or not enough transmission fluid. In that case, you are accelerating the wear and damage on your vehicle components within your transmission. Take the time to change out the transmission fluid when necessary; This could save you loads of time and money in the end by extending the lifespan of your transmission.

- Transmission slipping or rough shifts

- Fluid leaks
- Contaminated or low transmission fluid
