When you take your vehicle to any of our network of auto service centers, you can rest assured that our technicians have your car or truck’s best interests in mind. This includes more than just performing the service or repair that you brought your vehicle in for, but also ensuring that your vehicle is up to date on any manufacturer's service recommendations. This includes a transmission flush, among other common maintenance benchmarks.

Factory-Recommended Maintenance

Think of factory-recommended maintenance as you do preventative maintenance. More specifically, it's a list of manufacturer-recommended tasks that they advise be carried out at different intervals as the vehicle ages and incurs more mileage. For instance, perhaps the most common "factory-recommended maintenance" is the regular oil change. That is, draining old and administering fresh motor oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles (though today's vehicles and more advanced motor oil blends can extend these timelines). Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, a transmission flush is recommended anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000 miles.

How Transmission Fluid Works

Transmission fluid helps lubricate, cool, and clean various components of the transmission to help it operate effectively and efficiently. It plays a similar role in the transmission as motor oil does in the engine. Failure to flush the transmission fluid per manufacturer recommendations could lead to delayed gear engagement, slipping gears, odd noises, leaking fluid, or even a burning smell coming from the transmission.

The good news is that flushing the transmission is about as convenient as an oil change. The service consists of draining out old fluid and administering fresh, new fluid. It's a process that usually only takes about a half hour.
