You need to get it to a Transmission Shop A.S.A.P The automatic transmission is one area of the vehicle that very few people consider, because it is out of sight. Don’t wait until it starts dropping you a hint! Consider the advantages of regular vehicle maintenance with a change of the fluid and filter. Over time and distance, your vehicle’s automatic transmission fluid begins to break down as additives are depleted; it oxidizes and loses its ability to cool and lubricate; its ability to protect the transmission from wear and possible mechanical failure is also diminished. The filter’s purpose is to keep contaminates in the fluid from entering the working components. Standard Automatic Transmission Fluid Once a year or every 25,000 to 40,000 miles is an appropriate interval, or as your owner’s manual suggests. AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is recommended for use up to 50,000 miles under severe service* and up to 100,000 miles under normal service* or according to the vehicle manufacturer recommended intervals, whichever is longer.
