Service Interval = Base Interval x Condition Multiplier; Next Service = Last Service Mileage + Service Interval; Months Until Due = Miles Until Due / Monthly Miles

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should transmission fluid be changed?
Automatic transmissions typically need fluid changes every 60,000 to 100,000 miles under normal conditions, or every 30,000 miles under severe conditions like frequent towing or city driving.
What are signs of bad transmission fluid?
Dark or burnt-smelling fluid, delayed gear engagement, rough shifting, and transmission slipping are all signs that the fluid needs to be changed.
Is a transmission flush or drain-and-fill better?
A drain-and-fill is generally safer for high-mileage vehicles. A full flush replaces more fluid but can dislodge debris in older transmissions. Consult your vehicle manufacturer recommendation.
