Question By: This is going to vary depending on what kind of car you drive. Some cars come with a second dipstick under the hood, similar to the oil dipstick, so it’s easy to check your transmission fluid yourself. In other cars, it’s not easily accessible, so you’ll need to visit the service center to get it checked. We recommend checking it every time you get an oil change.
If you check your transmission fluid yourself, do it while the engine is running. Look at the quality of the fluid, not the level – if it smells burnt, or if it’s brownish instead of red, it needs to be changed.
Just like your engine needs oil to lubricate the different components need to protect them against wear and corrosion, your transmission is as well lubricated by special fluid called transmission fluid.
Maintaining the proper transmission fluid level is important to keep your transmission shifting properly and your car running smoothly. If you Got a car maintenance questions? Contact Trans Works Transmissions LLC service department at 608-742-5136 Or visit online at https://trannyman.net/.
