Transmission Maintenance Tips to Extend Your Vehicle’s Lifespan
Regular transmission maintenance serves as the foundation for extending your vehicle’s operational lifespan. At Euro Auto Tech & Smog, we recommend following these preventive measures to avoid costly transmission repairs down the road.
Maintenance Task | Recommended Interval |
Fluid check | Monthly |
Fluid change | Every 30,000-60,000 miles |
Filter replacement | With every fluid change |
Transmission inspection | Annually |
Cooling system service | Every 60,000 miles |
Don’t ignore warning signs like delayed engagement, unusual noises, or fluid leaks. These symptoms indicate potential transmission issues requiring immediate auto repair attention. We’ve found that vehicles receiving regular transmission service typically last 50-100,000 miles longer than neglected ones.
