Certified Transmission Fluid Exchange
Your transmission includes the moving gears that send the engine's power to your wheels. Your transmission fluid keeps the gears lubricated, reduces friction, dissipates heat, and allows you to shift without the clunks.
Over time, the transmission fluid loses its viscosity and protective properties resulting in degradation of your gears, loss of power, and possible failure of the entire transmission. A transmission fluid exchange simply drains the fluid in the transmission oil pan, replaces the fluid filter, sealing gasket, and refills the reservoir with new fluid.
Extend the Life of Your Toyota with Prompt Transmission Services
Check your owner's manual of your vehicle to verify the recommended service interval for a transmission fluid exchange. Most new vehicles suggest service anywhere from 30,000 to 60,000 miles, while older rides may require more frequent changes to keep the transmission functioning as well as possible.

How Can I Tell My Car Needs a Transmission Fluid Exchange
Low transmission fluid levels or old fluid can result in:- Grinding of gears when using a manual shift
- Clunking or slamming into gear on an automatic transmission
- Check engine light
- Burning smell while the car is in motion
- Hesitation to shift
- Strange noise and vibration during idling
- Drops of red liquid under the car may indicate a failed gasket
If your vehicle's instrument cluster includes a transmission temperature gauge, overheating can also tell you when it is time to head to the service center.
