It is easy to forget how important automatic transmission fluid is to the proper operation of the vehicle. This happens to be one of the more complex fluids in the automobile.
Although there are only a few different types it is extremely important that the right one be installed in the vehicle. The specifications section of your owner’s manual will provide you with exactly what kind of fluid belongs in your automatic transmission.
In the maintenance section will be guidelines for replacement and maintenance. Keep in mind that a great debate rages on about whether or not service is required at all. I believe in sticking to what the car-makers engineers recommend.
The reason I feel this way is because the hydraulic fluid circulating through the transmission and torque converter and over the internal parts of the transmission provides not only the lubrication but also the cooling. The hot fluid exiting the transmission usually moves to a transmission fluid cooler where the heat is removed.
