FAQs

How Do I Choose the Right Transmission Fluid?

First and foremost, is to consult the car’s manual. The manual indicates whether the transmission system requires Mercon or Dextron transmission fluid and the dipstick. For the sake of your vehicle, follow the owner’s manual. 

Can You Put Any Transmission Fluid in Your Car?

Transmission fluids are made to suit different types of automotive transmissions. The transmission oil uses different additives, which makes some of the lubricants incompatible with some transmission types. 
Some vehicles require automatic transmission fluid, while others use conventional engine oil. For your car to run smoothly and at its optimum, use the correct transmission fluid as specified by the car manufacturer.

What If You Use the Wrong Transmission Fluid in Your Vehicle?

Using the wrong lubricant can make your car overheat, have poor lubrication, and cause transmission failure. To avoid irreversible damage, consult a mechanic as soon as you discover the mistake. 

Can I Use ATF Instead of DEXRON VI?

Dexron VI is a complete back-serviceable transmission fluid that can also be used in place of Dexron II or Dexron III. The lubricant is licensed by GM to be used in both old and new automatic transmissions.

How to Know if Your Vehicle is Low on Transmission Oil?

Transmission fluid is essential in keeping your vehicle running efficiently. The lubricant transfers power lubricates and cools the transmission as the engine runs.
If your vehicle is low on transmission fluid, it will show the following signs;

Delayed gear engagement
When you shift the gear, there will be about a two or three seconds delay before the change happens. When transmission fluid is low, the vehicle does not have adequate hydraulic pressure to aid the gear shift.

An overheated transmission
If the vehicle has erratic shifts, loss of power, a burning smell, or smoking, it is a sign of an overheated transmission. An automobile overheats when the transmission fluid is low.

Transmission slipping
If a gear shift slips back after every engagement, it is the transmission slipping. Other malfunctions that indicate low transmission fluid include; erratic shifts, spikes in RPMs, sudden up and downshifts, and unusual grinding noises.

The lubricant’s color change
Transmission fluid is usually red or pinkish. When the lubricant is low in the engine, it changes hue to dark red, brown, or milky; it is also a sign it is soiled.
