For Portland car enthusiasts who prefer DIY car care, while many are familiar with basic service tips, some rarer tasks aren’t quite as well-known. Learning how to check your transmission fluid is as simple as checking your oil or checking the variance on your tire treads to rotate them. In this easy guide, we’ll walk you through how often to check your transmission fluid and how, so your car will stay running at its best. Consult your owner’s manual to find out if your vehicle has a dipstick or sealed transmission, then follow the Parker Johnstone's Wilsonville Honda guide below!
Although with a dipstick it can be quite simple to check your transmission fluid, a sealed transmission is much different, and overwhelmingly Sherwood drivers prefer to have their local service center technicians handle it. Newer vehicles may have a sealed transmission design to decrease maintenance and increase the fluid’s lifespan, and while this is effective, it means you run the risk of damaging your Honda if you attempt it yourself. Schedule a service for a transmission check every 5,000 miles as part of your regular maintenance to keep your vehicle running in peak condition. If you happen to see any of these warning signs of low or aged transmission fluid, schedule a service today:
