The life of an automatic transmission (AT) depends on various factors, including:
*Automatic transmission type: Different types of automatic transmissions have different service life expectancies.
* Driving style: Aggressive driving and frequent delays can shorten the life of the automatic transmission.
* Vehicle Care: Regular maintenance, including changing the automatic transmission oil and filter, is critical to extending the life of your vehicle.
*Vehicle Type: Automatic transmissions in heavier vehicles, such as trucks and SUVs, may wear out faster than those in lighter vehicles.
Expected service life of automatic transmission:
* 6-speed automatic transmission: From 150,000 to 250,000 km
* 8-speed automatic transmission: From 180,000 to 300,000 km
* 9-speed automatic transmission: From 200,000 to 350,000 km
* CVT automatic transmission: From 120,000 to 200,000 km
However, some automatic transmissions can last much longer, while others can fail much sooner, depending on the factors mentioned above.
It should be noted:
* Automatic transmissions that tow heavy loads or are used in extreme conditions may have a shorter service life.
* Regular maintenance and replacement of worn parts can significantly extend the life of the automatic transmission.
*If you notice any signs of automatic transmission problems (such as slippage, delayed shifting, or fluid leaks), contact a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.
