One way to maintain it is through an automatic transmission fluid exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Monday, Sydney and Jason conducted this service on a 2010 Kia Forte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They used a BG Transmission Fluid Exchange Machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe hook it up in series to the car, and as the car is running it pumps out old fluid while the machine pumps in new fluid,\u201d Sydney, a General Service Technician, explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For some vehicles, an automatic transmission fluid exchange is recommended every 35,000 to 45,000 miles. Others may not need it until they reach 120,000 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The transmission fluid helps keep the transmission clean, so it\u2019s important to change it regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the fluid breaks down, it doesn\u2019t function the way it should. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automatic transmissions use hydraulic pressure and clutch plates. If the hydraulic fluid isn\u2019t at the right level or working correctly, it can do premature wear on the clutch, which can lead to transmission problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
