What is a Transmission Fluid Exchange?

Picture a transmission fluid exchange like your basic oil change. It is a necessary part of your service schedule and needs to be completed at certain intervals and, preferably, before a problem occurs or a warning light activates. The basic process is also similar in that your old transmission fluid is drained and replaced with new fluid. Technicians will also remove sediment from your transmission fluid pan and any debris on magnets inserted to attract metal particles in your fluid.

Why Do I Need to Exchange My Transmission Fluid?

It is not uncommon for people to think changing transmission fluid isn't a pressing concern, but that is far from the truth. A Volkswagen transmission fluid exchange removes old fluid that, over time, has accumulated microparticles of metal and other debris. When the service is neglected for too long, these contaminants can start to cause other problems and may necessitate a full transmission flush — a larger process of flushing chemicals through your car's system to remove debris.

How Often Do I Need to Check or Exchange my Transmission Fluid?

For most Volkswagen models, the manufacturer recommends making a transmission fluid exchange part of your 50,000- or 60,000-mile service visit. Certain transmissions may require an exchange in 40,000 miles, so it's always best to consult your owner's manual or the Weimer Volkswagen of Morgantown service center regarding best practices. You should also have your transmission fluid replaced when the automatic filter is replaced. The filter is also changed as part of the transmission fluid exchange visit.
