Should you change your Transmission Fluid?

Changing your automatic transmission fluid can leave you with many questions like: how do you check your transmission fluid, when should you change transmission fluid, how often should you change it, should you do a fluid flush, and what about sealed transmissions? This video covers these questions and many more so you can get your transmission questions answered. Plus it puts the myths to rest once and for all!

The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule for many automatic transmissions doesn’t call for fresh fluid until 100,000 miles or, with some Ford transmissions, even 150,000 miles. A lot of mechanics say that is too long and it should be done at least every 50,000 miles. Manual transmissions may be on a different schedule, so it’s best to consult the maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual.
