WHY CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID?

When it comes to safety and drive ability, your transmission is the most important part of your car. So it makes sense to take the proper care in servicing your transmission--and that starts with the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) running through your car.

The best way to protect your car's transmission and help ensure a long-term, quality driving experience is by taking your car to a shop offering the TRANSTECH service.

What's the difference between the red fluid and the black fluid? Both are samples of automatic transmission fluid (ATF) at different stages of life. The difference is effectiveness: the red is new, so it protects your car's transmission components at an optimum level. The black is the red fluid after 20,000 miles of normal operation--virtually no protection for the hundreds of moving parts that make up your transmission.

What if it happens as you drive up a mountain pass. Or when you're waiting at a red light on a freeway off-ramp―as the light goes green and you step on the accelerator, you feel the hesitation and slippage common to transmission problems.

Most of us know what it feels like when a transmission fails. After all, more than 13 million of us go through it every year. The best way to protect your car's transmission and help ensure a long-term, quality driving experience is to exchange your ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) when specified by your auto maker.
