To ensure the durability of an automatic transmission, the key lies in regular maintenance and good driving habits. Regularly checking the transmission fluid level is fundamental. It is best to confirm that the fluid level is within the normal range using the dipstick when the oil temperature reaches 50℃, and to add the same-quality fluid promptly if it is insufficient. The oil change interval is usually 2 years or 40,000 to 60,000 kilometres. Using the dynamic oil change method can achieve an oil change rate of over 90% through professional equipment, and the filter should be replaced simultaneously to ensure cleanliness. In daily driving, improper operations such as coasting in neutral and having the drive wheels on the ground when towing should be avoided. When parking, it is also necessary to avoid keeping the gear in D while pressing the brake for a long time, as these habits will accelerate internal wear. As a medium for lubrication and power transmission, transmission fluid operates at a temperature as high as 120℃. It is best to check the oil quality every 15,000 kilometres and perform deep cleaning and maintenance every 20,000 to 25,000 kilometres. Only by using special oil and cleaning agents from regular channels and cooperating with qualified service providers can the service life of the transmission be effectively extended.
