The oil change interval for an automatic transmission depends on various factors, such as:
* Automatic transmission type:
* Single-speed automatic transmission: 20,000 – 40,000 km
* Multi-speed automatic transmission: 40,000 – 80,000 km
* CVT (CVT): 30,000 – 60,000 km
* Terms of Use:
* Driving in traffic jams and around the city increases the frequency of replacements.
* Towing heavy loads also accelerates oil wear.
* Vehicle age and mileage:
* As the automatic transmission ages and mileage increases, the oil loses its properties.
Recommended replacement intervals:
* Normal operating conditions: Every 40,000 – 50,000 km or every 2 years
* Severe operating conditions (frequent trips in traffic jams, towing): Every 20,000 – 30,000 km or every 12 months
* High performance vehicles: Every 10,000 – 20,000 km or annually
Important:
* Regularly changing automatic transmission oil extends its service life and improves performance.
* When changing the oil, it is also recommended to replace the automatic transmission oil filter.
* Use oil recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
* Do not overtighten the automatic transmission pan plug, as this may cause damage.
*Consult your owner’s manual or a qualified mechanic for more specific recommendations for your specific vehicle.
