Transmission Fluid Change Service

A transmission fluid change is a routine fluid change service that you should have done at regular intervals, much like an oil change. Our technicians will drain the old fluid out of your vehicle's transmission during a transmission fluid change. After draining the transmission fluid completely out of the transmission unit, our technicians will remove the old transmission fluid filter that helped keep the transmission fluid clean. Once everything has been removed and drained, our technicians will then replace the transmission fluid filter with a fresh OEM replacement filter. Once the new OEM filter has been installed, the technicians will then fill up your vehicle's transmission with fresh fluid.

Transmission Damage Prevention

Transmission fluid plays several crucial roles in a transmission, which is why it needs to be changed routinely. Primarily, transmission fluid is responsible for lubricating the various rapidly-moving metal parts in the transmission. As it lubricates the transmission's parts, transmission fluid also keeps the transmission cool and clean by cycling throughout the transmission. After it has been cycled numerous times, transmission fluid begins to break down and cannot be as effective in a transmission. In fact, transmission fluid can be damaging to a transmission when it has become too dirty.

Routine VW Transmission Fluid Changes

To provide the best service to your vehicle's transmission and to avoid missing your service intervals, you should develop a transmission fluid change routine that will work for you. Manufacturers recommend that drivers have their transmission fluids changed at least once every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, in fact, it is provided in many of their routine services. As a starting point, we recommend that you refer to your vehicle's manual to determine what your vehicle's manufacturer recommends.
