After changing the oil, your automatic transmission should operate more efficiently and smoothly. Here are some of the changes that may be noticeable:
Smooth Gear Shifting: The new oil provides better lubrication of automatic transmission components, resulting in smoother gear shifts.
Improved Acceleration: An automatic transmission with new oil operates more efficiently, which can improve the vehicle’s acceleration.
Improved Fuel Economy: A well-lubricated automatic transmission can operate with less frictional loss, resulting in potential fuel savings.
Reduced Wear: The new oil reduces wear on automatic transmission components, extending transmission life.
Reduced noise and vibration: A well-lubricated automatic transmission is quieter and has less vibration.
Restoring Automatic Transmission Operation: If the automatic transmission was experiencing problems before changing the oil, new oil can help restore normal operation by clearing up buildup and providing better lubrication.
However, it is important to note that the perceptibility of these changes depends on the condition of the automatic transmission before the oil change. If the automatic transmission is heavily worn or has significant mechanical problems, changing the oil may not significantly improve its performance.
Recommendations after changing the automatic transmission oil:
* Avoid sudden acceleration and braking for the first few miles after an oil change.
* Check the fluid level and make sure it is within the required range.
*Follow the recommended oil change intervals for your automatic transmission.
