Transmission Fluid Exchange

What is a Transmission Fluid Exchange Service?

You can think of this as a kind of oil change, but instead of reinvigorating your engine, our Toyota certified technicians replace the old lubricants in your vehicle’s transmission. Your transmission is the device that contains the gears and electronic components that are responsible for your vehicle’s ability to shift gears up and down. A transmission fluid exchange service involves our Rolling Hills Toyota certified technicians using a fluid exchange device that hooks up to your vehicle’s transmission while it is running. The device then extracts the old fluid while simultaneously adding the new fluid. Clean fluid is crucial in keeping the bearings and seal in good condition while keeping the parts in your vehicle’s transmission running cool. This service can help prevent more expensive repairs further down the road. Just like ensuring your engine’s oil is regularly replaced, your vehicle’s transmission fluid also needs to be periodically replaced to keep it functioning properly. That’s why you need a trusted partner, like Rolling Hills Toyota’s Toyota certified technicians to keep your complex and integral transmission running smoothly.

Do Newer Toyota Vehicles Require Transmission Fluid Exchange Services?

Toyota vehicles are now often constructed with lighter metals, and the continuous operation of the transmission gears exert more strain on the transmission than older vehicles. This is why you must take your vehicle into Rolling Hills Toyota in St. Joseph, MO to ensure your transmission is running efficiently.
