Transmission Fluid Exchange Service with Sterling Acura of Austin

Amid the different maintenance services provided at our service center that your Acura needs, the transmission fluid needs to be exchanged at different points throughout the life of your Acura. The fluid is hydraulic and is essential for applying pressure throughout the transmission when gears are shifting. Like any other fluid, the transmission fluid starts to deteriorate over time after being used frequently, and its quality will deteriorate. This is when a transmission fluid exchange service is essential.

Our Transmission Fluid Exchange Service

This service is conducted by Acura-certified technicians who know their way around your transmission. During this service, the current transmission fluid that is circulating through your transmission will be removed and flushed from the system. At that time new and fresh transmission fluid will be applied. The transmission will be tested by the experts before returning your Acura to you.

Transmission Fluid Exchange Service Interval

This service is essential every 60k – 90k miles on your Acura. Acura’s have a reputation for lasting a long time, and the transmission can last much longer without a repair or replacement if this transmission fluid is exchanged regularly. When you have your Acura serviced periodically at an Acura dealership, they will let you know when it is time to have this done, and it often can be done while you are in for another service like an oil change.

Never Neglect Exchanging Your Transmission Fluid

While you do have a few miles to stretch on this service, you do not want to forget it or put it off too long. If it is not able to properly supply the pressure needed in your transmission, then the standard functions within your transmission will start to decline and its performance will slip. Over time, you may find yourself needing a transmission rebuild or replacement depending on the level of damage to the transmission. This service is much more expensive and will require several days to complete the service. Unfortunately, there are a lot of myths out there about transmission fluid being able to last the life of your vehicle, including Acura models. Independent mechanics and some car owners believe that the quality of this fluid can last as long as you have the transmission, which is not true unless you never have it exchanged and find yourself replacing the whole transmission much sooner than you should have.
