While it's a common belief that manual transmissions don't require the same level of service as their automatic counterparts, it's essential to recognize that routine maintenance such as a fluid flush and fill is still crucial. Transmission fluid plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity of vital moving parts, even in vehicles equipped with standard transmissions. Over time, this fluid can degrade, compromising its effectiveness in providing proper lubrication and protection. At Capitol Chevrolet, we specialize in manual transmission fluid exchange service, ensuring that your vehicle receives the attention it deserves. Before you bring your vehicle to us, it's important to understand the significance of this service and how it contributes to the longevity and performance of your manual transmission. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your vehicle's maintenance.

"What's the Importance of Changing My Manual Transmission Fluid?"

Over time, a combination of factors such as moisture, dirt, debris, and thermal breakdown contributes to the degradation of your transmission fluid. As this deterioration progresses, the fluid loses its ability to effectively dissipate heat and safeguard the transmission's sensitive components. The consequences can be severe, potentially leading to costly transmission damage. If you aspire to enjoy years of trouble-free performance from your vehicle, maintaining regular manual transmission upkeep - including fluid exchange - becomes exceptionally important. This proactive approach not only preserves the efficiency of your transmission but also safeguards it from potential issues, ensuring that your vehicle continues to operate smoothly and reliably.

"When Should I Change My Manual Transmission Fluid?"

The frequency and manner in which you drive will determine when your transmission fluid needs changing, but a thorough inspection by our technicians is the most accurate indicator. Your particular interval may range from as little as every 30,000 miles to as much as every 100,000 miles, and your owner's manual will provide estimated timelines for such maintenance. When you visit us for manual transmission fluid change service, our certified technicians will conduct a comprehensive process. They will flush out the old transmission fluid, replace it with fresh fluid, and examine the system for leaks or damage, ensuring you can drive with confidence.
