A transmission fluid change is very beneficial for your transmission. Fluid changes don’t have to be frequent, so when should you get one done? 
 What Does Transmission Fluid Do? Transmission fluid is important for the function of your automatic transmission. It is a lubricant for the transmission to prevent overheating and condition components. Synthetic transmission fluid is the most common and most recommended type of transmission fluid for vehicles. Though a transmission technician can let you know what is the best transmission fluid for your vehicle depending on if it is an automatic transmission or manual transmission.
When to Get a Transmission Fluid Change? Getting a transmission fluid change may be necessary if the quality of the fluid is cloudy, foul-smelling, or burnt. You can regularly check your transmission fluid through the dipstick labeled transmission. The fluid should be a reddish tint and odorless. Each time you check you are looking for the quality and quantity. The quality should be optimal and the level of the fluid should be to the recommended line. If the transmission fluid is low, then fluid will need to be added to the system.
Benefits of a Transmission Fluid Change Good transmission fluid helps to keep your transmission functioning properly. Fresh transmission fluid optimally keeps your transmission cool and lubricated. Ensuring that your transmission fluid is clean will help your transmission from burning or experiencing an unnecessary problem.
