• Firstly, it prolongs the lifespan of your vehicle. Clean transmission fluid lubricates the various intricate components, reducing wear and tear, and prevents overheating, allowing your vehicle to perform optimally and efficiently for longer periods.
• Secondly, proper transmission fluid service leads to smoother gear shifting. Over time, dirty or worn-out fluid reduce the seamless gear changes we have come to expect.
• Thirdly, it is better for your wallet. By staying on top of transmission fluid service, you can avoid slipping gears and delayed acceleration to complete transmission failure, leaving you stranded and with a hefty bill.

Without the transmission your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission.

The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low. It will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission Fluid can, however, become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.
