Labor costs for a transmission and fluid change can go anywhere between $200 and $400.<\/li><li>Automatic transmission fluids usually last around 30,000 to 100,000 miles.

As it is composed of many moving components, it needs proper lubrication to maintain its efficiency. This is where transmission fluid comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Transmission Fluid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Transmission fluid lubricates the moving parts of your transmission. Most automatic transmission fluids are made with a refined mixture of base oil and a combination of additives. They typically look bright red or pink, but they will turn brown over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions, the fluid also helps produce hydraulic pressure, which helps the planetary gear sets shift. It is also used by the torque converter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/automotive-transmission-fluid-replacement-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"automotive transmission fluid replacement\" class=\"wp-image-70014\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/automotive-transmission-fluid-replacement-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/automotive-transmission-fluid-replacement-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/automotive-transmission-fluid-replacement-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/automotive-transmission-fluid-replacement-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/automotive-transmission-fluid-replacement-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/automotive-transmission-fluid-replacement-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Transmission fluid lubricates the moving parts of your transmission.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To check your transmission fluid, you&rsquo;ll have to locate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/automatic-transmission-dipstick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"transmission fluid dipstick\">transmission fluid dipstick<\/a>.

The exact service interval for this fluid will depend on the vehicle. To know the exact details of your transmission fluid service interval, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/why-you-should-always-consult-a-repair-manual\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"consult your owner&rsquo;s manual\">consult your owner&rsquo;s manual<\/a> or talk to a trusted mechanic. It&rsquo;s also important to note that some vehicles don&rsquo;t require a transmission fluid change because their transmission is sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes the Transmission Fluid to Degrade?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s natural for the transmission fluid to deteriorate over time. However, some factors can shorten its lifespan. For example, carrying heavy cargo, trailer towing, and other driving habits can cause your automatic transmission fluid to run hot and prematurely deteriorate. The fluid is also prone to overheating if your vehicle has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/bad-automatic-transmission-symptoms-repair-cost-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"transmission-related issues\">transmission-related issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens When the Transmission Fluid Is Contaminated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contaminated transmission fluid can cause loss of hydraulic power, making the gears in your transmission slip. That&rsquo;s because contaminated or dirty fluid won&rsquo;t be able to flow in the system smoothly. When this happens, there might be inadequate pressure to stay in gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contaminated fluid can also cause a variety of other transmission performance problems, ranging from harsh engagement to improper torque converter operation.

You may also notice liquid dripping or a puddle forming underneath your vehicle. In some cases, the check engine light might also illuminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Low Transmission Fluid Levels?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Transmission leaks are the primary reason your ride&rsquo;s transmission fluid level is low.
