Transmission oil change for automatic transmissions
Why is it maintenance so important for an automatic transmission?
The transmission oil in automatic transmissions ages over time and the additives become depleted. Various types of wear debris also build up, particularly in the case of automatic transmissions with wet clutches, where the friction lining sits in the transmission oil. This results in deposits on the mechatronics and it also affects the mechanical components such as gear wheels. A filter medium known as the hydraulic filter is used to filter these deposits out, but this becomes saturated after a certain time. In the worst cases, this results in damage to the transmission. But this does not need to happen.
Never before has it been so easy to change the transmission oil.

‘Automatic transmission oil lasts as long as the car.’
Sounds too good to be true?
It is.
Automatic transmission oil is subjected to stresses similar to those of engine oil and therefore needs to be changed regularly as specified by the transmission manufacturer, in order to prevent damage to the transmission.
If the transmission oil is changed regularly, most transmission specifications do not require the transmission to be flushed. Transmission flushing is inadvisable for transmissions with high mileage (from 90000 miles) as this can damage the transmission. Please always follow the information from the vehicle manufacturer.
Tip: Do it at an upcoming service interval.
