What It Is

Transmission fluid lubricates, cools, and provides hydraulic pressure for shifting. It breaks down over time and miles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drain and fill or full flush?

Drain and fill replaces about 40 percent of the fluid. Flush replaces nearly all. Many shops now avoid flushes on transmissions over 100,000 miles.

Does my CVT need fluid changes?

Yes. CVTs are very picky about fluid type and intervals. Follow the manufacturer's schedule exactly.
