What Is a Transmission Service?
How Often Automatic Transmissions Require Service?
Each Nissan will have its own recommendation for how often to replace the transmission fluid, mainly depending on whether it’s equipped with a CVT or a traditional gear transmission. If you are unsure when the last time you serviced your transmission, check your owner’s manual and compare the interval with your odometer. If you are unsure how to check yourself, contact us at Nissan Downtown, and we will happily assist you with all of your maintenance needs.
FAQs
Should You Get a Transmission Flush or Change?
Flushing your transmission fluid is the ideal way to replace all of the old fluid in your transmission. However, that’s only recommended if your vehicle is regularly serviced. It’s best to consult your mechanic if your vehicle doesn’t have regular service records for the transmission for the best recommendation.
How Much Does it Cost to Service a Transmission?
The cost of transmission service can vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle, as each will have a different transmission type that requires different fluid types and amounts. It’s best to contact your local Nissan dealer for an accurate estimate.
What Happens if You Don’t Service Your Transmission?
Neglecting transmission service can negatively impact the functionality and reliability of your vehicle. When left unserviced for much longer than recommended, it could cause complete transmission failure.
