Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my transmission fluid needs changing?
Transmission fluid should be bright red and have a clean, slightly sweet smell. Dark, burnt-smelling, or gritty fluid is a sign it needs replacing. Low fluid can also cause gears to slip or hesitate when shifting. Checking regularly helps avoid major transmission problems that can develop from poor lubrication.
Why does a transmission service cost more than an oil change?
A transmission service is more complex than a standard oil change because it involves draining or flushing old fluid, inspecting multiple components, and sometimes replacing filters or gaskets. The process takes longer, and the specialised fluid is usually more expensive than engine oil. While the upfront cost is higher, the service helps prevent costly repairs. Think of it as insurance for one of the most critical systems in your car.
Does towing or heavy driving affect transmission servicing needs?
Yes, vehicles that tow regularly or are driven in stop-and-go traffic often need more frequent servicing. These conditions place extra strain on the transmission, causing fluid to degrade faster and components to wear sooner. Following the standard service schedule may not be enough if your vehicle is under heavy use. More regular checks help catch issues early and extend the life of the system.
care that lasts
Protecting Your Vehicle's Lifespan
The transmission is one of the hardest-working systems in any car, responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels. Because of this, it requires precise care to prevent costly repairs down the track. During a service, trained technicians check for leaks, monitor fluid levels and condition, and look for early signs of component wear. Even small issues, such as low transmission fluid, can cause major damage if left unchecked.
By maintaining your transmission properly, you avoid unexpected breakdowns and improve both safety and fuel efficiency. It’s an investment in your car’s long-term health, ensuring it drives reliably for years to come.
