Your vehicle’s transmission works hard every time you drive, transferring power from the engine to the wheels and ensuring smooth gear shifts. Over time, transmission fluid breaks down, losing its ability to lubricate and protect internal components. Regular fluid changes keep your transmission running smoothly, prevent costly repairs, and extend the life of your vehicle. Using AMSOIL’s premium synthetic fluid ensures you get the best protection and performance. Here’s why transmission fluid changes matter and how to do it right with AMSOIL.
Why Transmission Fluid Changes Matter
Transmission fluid serves as both a lubricant and a coolant for the complex system of gears and moving parts inside your transmission. Over time, heat and friction cause the fluid to degrade, reducing its ability to protect and cool effectively. Worn-out transmission fluid can lead to sluggish gear shifts, grinding noises, slipping gears, and even failure.
By changing your fluid regularly, you protect the internal components from wear and buildup, helping the transmission operate more efficiently. Clean fluid allows shifting smoothly, improves response time, and prevents overheating — all of which enhance your vehicle’s overall performance and lifespan.
How AMSOIL Transmission Fluid Outperforms the Rest
AMSOIL Synthetic Transmission Fluid stands out from conventional options due to its advanced formulation. Unlike standard fluids that break down quickly under heat and pressure, AMSOIL’s synthetic blend resists thermal breakdown and oxidation. This stability ensures that the fluid maintains its protective qualities over time, even under heavy loads and extreme temperatures.
AMSOIL transmission fluid reduces friction, allowing gears to shift smoothly and respond more quickly. It also prevents deposit buildup, keeping the transmission clean and reducing the risk of clogged valves or sticking gears. With AMSOIL, you not only protect your transmission but also improve fuel efficiency and overall drivability.
How to Change Your Transmission Fluid with AMSOIL
- Warm Up the Engine: Start by warming up your vehicle to allow the transmission fluid to flow more easily. Let the engine run for about 10 minutes or take a short drive.
- Drain the Old Fluid: Locate the transmission drain plug and place a drain pan underneath. Remove the plug and allow the old fluid to drain completely. If your transmission has a filter, remove and replace it to prevent debris from circulating.
- Refill with AMSOIL: Use AMSOIL Synthetic Transmission Fluid and add the recommended amount for your vehicle. Check your owner’s manual for the correct type and capacity.
- Check the Fluid Level: Start the engine and shift through the gears to circulate the new fluid. Check the dipstick and adjust the fluid level as needed.
- Monitor Performance: After driving for a few miles, check for smooth shifting and proper transmission response. AMSOIL’s superior lubrication ensures immediate improvement in performance and gear engagement.
