You can maximize the gear shifting performance of your Toyota by getting a transmission fluid exchange service. As the transmission fluid ages, it loses its ability to properly cool and lubricate the transmission components. One of the primary reasons why transmission fluid becomes ineffective is contamination from tiny metal particles and gunk build-up inside the transmission. With ineffective transmission fluid, you are likely to experience issues in gear shifting, fuel efficiency, and the overall driving experience of your Toyota. In severe cases of degraded transmission fluid, you might get serious damage to the engine that requires major repairs for your Toyota.
The service interval for transmission fluid depends on several factors, including the driving conditions and the type of transmission system. Automatic transmission fluid can last longer than manual transmission fluid. If you use your Toyota to tow or haul heavy loads, you might need transmission fluid exchange earlier than Toyota’s recommended schedule. Our technicians at Germain Toyota of Columbus are Toyota-trained and can guide you on the ideal service interval for the replacement of transmission fluid after inspecting your Toyota vehicle.
