Do you need to drain the transmission fluid? In automatic transmissions/transaxles, the recommended service interval is about every 30,000 miles or 30 months. For more information, consult your owner's or service manual. Many transmission pans do not have drain plugs so changing the fluid can be messy. The entire pan must be taken out.

People also ask: Should I drain and then fill my transmission?

A transmission fluid change is focused on draining the old fluid from the pan. A transmission flush removes all fluid from the pan, the cooler lines and the torque converter. It doesn't matter how often your transmission should be serviced. What matters is which service you choose.

What happens if you don't change your transmission fluid?

What happens if the transmission fluid is not changed when it is supposed to? The transmission fluid in your car can cause it to not shift properly or at all. You can also cause damage to the transmission's internal parts if it is not properly lubricated.
