Transmission Fluid Change

For slightly more than the cost of a motor oil change, an automatic transmission fluid change may be the best companion your automatic transmission has. Your transmission relies heavily on the level, temperature, and condition of its fluid, which serves to cool and lubricate. With automatic transmissions, the fluid also transfers power and provides necessary pressure to the internal parts of the transmission. Automatic transmission fluid must be checked and regularly changed. Have your transmission fluid changed at the scheduled intervals according to your owners manual. Most recommend every 30,000 miles. The filter should be replaced as well. Are you towing a trailer, going up and down mountains, overloading the car and spending time in temperatures above 90 degrees? Are you driving a recreational vehicle? At risk vehicles need more frequent automatic transmission fluid changes and possibly an auxiliary cooler. A trained Best Western Transmission technician is an expert in transmissions and will ensure the job is done right.
