Transmission fluid change

Here at Scott Mazda, we want you to enjoy driving your Mazda model for years and years. So, we put an emphasis on service, like getting a transmission fluid change.

What is Transmission Fluid?

As the name implies, transmission fluid is the fluid that lubricates the components of your car’s transmission for optimum performance and safety. If you’re driving a vehicle with automatic transmission, your fluid also acts as a coolant. Not all transmission fluid is made equal.

For example, automatic transmissions use regular automatic transmission fluid, while the fluid in a manual car can vary.

Although transmission fluid is primarily a lubricant, it’s also a bit of a universal player. Your fluid will also clean and protect metal surfaces from wear and tear, condition your gaskets, enhance your cooling systems to reduce high temperatures, and more.

 

Replacing Your Transmission Fluid

Replacing your transmission fluid at home is something you can do on your own. However, not all transmission fluids work with all cars. That’s why we recommend that you schedule a service appointment with us if you need to change your transmission fluid.

We only use the manufacturer-approved fluids and components, so you know your vehicle is in great hands. Plus, we have tons of experience with your specific Mazda vehicle.

Transmission fluid not only keeps all the gears from running smoothly but also prevents those components from breaking down too early and causing damage. So, don’t wait; drive with clean transmission fluid. And visit Scott Mazda for all your vehicle needs.
