For optimum performance of your car, you need to make sure the fluid is up to the recommended level and standard. Every car has different requirements when it comes to this fluid, the details of which can be found in the driver&#8217;s manual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transmission fluid check and maintenance should be a part of your car care regime. In this guide, we will discuss the importance of car transmission fluid, its different types and how to identify if your car needs a transmission fluid change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-different-types-of-car-transmission-fluids\">Different Types of Car Transmission Fluids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, there are two different types of car transmission fluids: automatic transmission fluid and manual transmission fluid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-automatic-car-transmission-fluid-atf\">Automatic Car Transmission Fluid (ATF)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is made for cars with automatic transmissions. ATF is also used in some modern manual transmission cars. This fluid helps with several important functions of your automatic vehicles including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lubricating the gearbox\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Valve body (control centre of an automatic car) operation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Torque converter operation (in automatic cars torque converter connects power source to the load source, in manual cars the clutch of the vehicle performs this function)\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps with the clutch friction operation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brake band chafing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transmission cooling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-manual-car-transmission-fluid\">Manual Car Transmission Fluid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As evident from its name, manual car transmission fluid is for older manual cars. Transmission fluid in manual cars is also referred to as lube or manual transmission oil. You can\u2019t use manual car transmission fluid in automatic cars because it is heavier than 75 to 140W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-importance-of-car-transmission-fluid\">Importance of Car Transmission Fluid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/identify-car-fluids-leaks-colours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Car transmission fluid<\/a> is similar to gear oil, but it lubricates the total drivetrain, including the metal parts and bearings in the gearbox. These parts and bearings protect the gears from grinding down when moving: the clutch, prop shaft, differential and final drive shafts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential to keep a check on your car transmission fluid to keep your gears swift. After all, gears are used when you drive, park and reverse, several times daily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The automatic transmission fluid lubricates the moving parts; it also provides friction and hydraulic pressure to get the internal parts working.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, transmission fluid also helps keep the transmission cool in both manual and automatic vehicles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-often-should-one-check-car-transmission-fluid\">How Often Should One Check Car Transmission Fluid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Changing car transmission fluid\" class=\"wp-image-15611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-421x263.jpg 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-558x349.jpg 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-363x227.jpg 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-250x156.jpg 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-774x484.jpg 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-437x273.jpg 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-301x188.jpg 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-771x482.jpg 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-669x418.jpg 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/10141048\/car-transmission-fluid-body-a-100820210630-435x272.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Keep inspecting your car transmission fluid and change it when necessary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the passage of time, your car\u2019s transmission fluid will get contaminated with particles of dirt and debris and break down, leading to cracks and fluid leaks. This happens in both automatic and manual car transmission fluid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though transmission fluid doesn\u2019t need to be changed as often as motor oil, car owners need to keep checking their vehicle\u2019s transmission fluids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How often one needs to check the fluid depends on the performance of the gears. If the fluid starts to break down or their level is low, you will notice a drastic change in the way your gears perform while shifting and changing them. The performance of your gears starts decreasing, and the risk of internal gears and part damage increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This happens because the gears start grinding owing to a lack of proper lubricants.

You can get this information from the owner\u2019s manual. Depending on the way you drive and your car\u2019s transmission, some manufacturers recommend changing manual car transmission fluid after every 50,000 to 90,000 kilometres. However, keep in mind this can vary depending on your car\u2019s model and make.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why car owners must always follow the manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations for their&nbsp;cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the following things ready to change the transmission fluid in your manual vehicle properly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Safety equipment including rubber gloves and safety goggles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A spanner for the oil drain plug<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A container to collect the used oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A plastic pipe and funnel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A jack along with its stand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some paper towels or newspapers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your car\u2019s transmission is automatic, you\u2019ll need to first locate the transmission dipstick in the vehicle. Go through the owner\u2019s manual to figure out its exact location. Once located follow these steps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remove the automatic transmission fluid dipstick and drain out the fluid already in it\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wipe it with a clean cloth, reinsert it fully to clean and pull it back out when done\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add fluid if you think its level is low, always use the manufacturer-recommended fluid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But before adding car transmission fluid, observe the markings at the dipsticks\u2019 end<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it is marked as \u201cfull\u201d one warm and one cold. The automatic transmission fluid level has to come up to the \u201cwarm\u201d line.\u00a0If it does not, you have to add more automatic transmission fluid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To add fluid, insert the long funnel into the automatic transmission fluid dipstick hole.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carefully add fluid little by little and recheck the \u201cwarm\u201d level line on the dipstick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you notice any fluid leaks take your car to a service centre and get it repaired.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consult with an automobile professional expert to get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-transmission-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">transmission fuel leak repair<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-cost-of-change-automatic-transmission-fuel-in-the-uae\">What is the Cost of Change Automatic Transmission Fuel in the UAE?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The automatic transmission change fluid cost starts from about AED 190 and can go up to AED 300.
