Service:


Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) lubricates and cools your car’s automatic



transmission. It also serves as a transport medium for vital additives such as seal



softeners, anti-foaming agents,lubricants and detergents.



To extend the life and improve the performance of your transmission, it’s important to



have its ATF replaced completely according to your manufacturer’s recommended



schedule. That’s because heat and mileage cause the vital additives in ATF to become



oxidized, depleted, and inert. And worn-out ATF can result in rough shifting,



accelerated wear and even transmission failure.




There are two types of transmissions on the road today: manual and automatic. The main difference



between these two transmissions is that an automatic shifts gears automatically while the manual



requires you to shift them yourself.
