How often do you check your transmission fluid? Do you even need to check your transmission fluid? If you had to, would you actually know how to check your transmission fluid? You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers. Don’t worry, our service department has helped lots of our Brampton customers understand how to do simple transmission maintenance.
Checking the fluid in an automatic transmission is easy. A lot of our Caledon customers do it themselves. Just follow the steps below, but know that you need to do this while the engine is running and already warm.
Depending on how hard it is to reach the transmission and the fluid fill plug, you may need to jack the car up to check the transmission fluid on cars with manual transmissions.
Note: You should never get under your car while it is supported on jacks! But why deal with this hassle yourself? Just schedule an appointment with our transmission experts to keep things simple and stress-free.
So, how often do you check your transmission fluid? Check your owner’s manual, since each vehicle is different. But you should definitely check the transmission fluid if your car doesn’t shift smoothly. That could be an indication the fluid is low; the good news is that most oil change places will also check your transmission fluid when they change your oil if you ask them to!
Our knowledgeable technicians near Georgetown will be glad to check your transmission fluid and top it off if needed. While you’re here, check out our service specials. We’re just a short drive away from Orangeville, so drop by or contact us today!
