An automatic transmission fluid service will replace 100% of your vehicle’s old, dirty fluid.
That’s important, considering traditional ATF changes drain little more than 30% of the bad fluid from your transmission, leaving nearly ¾ of your old fluid in the transmission to mix with the new. Until now, the technology simply wasn’t available to change all the dirty fluid. A large volume remained trapped in the transmission torque converter, cooler, and other areas of the transmission.
Transmission fluid viscosity is key to extending the life and improving the performance of your transmission. Under normal driving conditions, your ATF viscosity deteriorates with mileage and use, while abrasives and contaminants circulating in your transmission becomes more vulnerable to costly breakdown, and loses its peak operating performance qualities.
In most cars, the transmission filter resembles a “bug” screen designed to stop large particles of contaminants. In fact, many import cars do not have transmission filters at all. Too often the transmission filter is confused in its performance with that of an oil filter. In most cases it is not necessary to change the transmission screen when performing a flushing service.
The real value being your transmission now has 100% brand new fluid with high levels of viscosity to help your vehicle shift and run more smoothly.
