Transmission fluid plays an important role in the functionality of your vehicle by keeping the various components of the transmission lubricated to minimize friction. It’s recommended to have your transmission fluid flushed – a process that involves replacing the dirty old fluid with new fluid – roughly every 30,000 miles to prolong your transmission’s lifespan. Having your transmission fluid flushed at regular intervals is beneficial to your car in the following ways:

• Your transmission will perform better. Over time, transmission fluid can degrade and lose its ability to properly engage the transmission, causing slippage. A transmission fluid flush performed by trained mechanics in the West Minneapolis metro can prevent this. Fresh transmission fluid also maintains proper hydraulic pressure, allowing for smooth gear shifts.
• Your vehicle’s transmission will have a longer life. Fresh transmission fluid dissipates heat effectively. This reduces the risk of overheating, which can cause significant damage to the transmission. Additionally, new transmission fluid contains the proper additives to lubricate the transmission’s moving parts, greatly reducing friction that could shorten its lifespan.
• Over time, transmission fluid can become contaminated with dirt and other debris that cause clogs and damage. Regular transmission fluid flushes remove these contaminants, preventing the build-up of sludge and varnish that can impair transmission performance.
• Regular transmission fluid flushes will prevent you from having to pay for costly repairs later on. Flushing transmission fluid can also reveal early indicators of potentially expensive transmission problems, allowing you to fix them before they worsen.
