The oil in an automatic transmission (automatic transmission) does not burn or disappear under normal operating conditions. However, there are several possible reasons why the oil level in the automatic transmission may decrease:
* Leaks: Oil leaks can occur through gaskets, seals and pipes. This may be caused by wear, damage or improper installation.
* Overheating: Overheating of the automatic transmission can lead to oil evaporation. This may be caused by insufficient cooling, excessive load, or worn internal components.
* Contamination: Contaminants such as metal shavings and clutch wear can clog filters and oil passages, reducing oil pressure and causing leaks.
* Wear of friction elements: Worn or dirty friction elements in an automatic transmission can release wear products that can cause leaks or reduce oil levels.
* Wear of the automatic transmission pump: Wear of the automatic transmission pump can reduce oil pressure, which leads to leaks and low oil levels.
If you notice that the oil level in the automatic transmission has decreased, it is important to find and eliminate the cause of the leak or low oil level as soon as possible. Continuing to drive a vehicle with a low automatic transmission oil level can lead to serious damage and costly repairs.
