Transmission Fluid Flush

Transmission Fluid Flush at Stanley Ford Eastland

For most people, their vehicle is one of the most expensive things they own. When you’re trying to keep your car in the best shape possible, you’ll need to make sure that it’s topped up on all the necessary fluids. Your transmission is going to need a steady supply, so when you’re running low near Ranger, Eastland, or Cisco, you’ll want to stop by Stanley Ford Eastland, where your car can receive all its routine maintenance. 

Taking Care

It’s hard to forget about your next oil change, especially since you most likely have a sticker decorating the corner of your windshield that tells you exactly when you’ll need your next one. It’s unlikely that your transmission has the same perk, but you’ll want to make sure that you keep a close eye on this system as well. When your transmission begins to run low on oil, you’re risking a build-up of heat that could irreparably damage the system. This isn’t a part that you’ll be able to go without, as it directly transfers the power of your engine to your wheels. When you’re looking to avoid a big repair bill, you’ll want to be on top of your maintenance. 

Keeping Track

Every vehicle should come equipped with a transmission dipstick which can hopefully provide you some insight as to whether or not it’s time for your next service. Over time, particulates will infiltrate your system and cause your fluid to become murky or dark. Your transmission fluid should be a brilliant red, so if you notice that it appears to be cloudy or otherwise tainted, you’ll want to immediately schedule a service. You may also be able to tell if it’s time for service based on any possible decreases in performance. Your transmission is responsible for providing the power to your wheels, so if you notice that the engine is failing to coordinate properly with them, or that you’re harshly slipping from one gear to another, you’ll want to have your model inspected by the experts at Stanley Ford Eastland. 

A Thorough Cleaning

A fluid flush can provide the solution to all your problems, as it completely cleans out your lines. Any dirt, grime, or other particulates will be immediately removed while the old and murky fluid will be drained entirely. Once this is done, a new filter will be installed and new automatic transmission fluid will be poured into your system. At Stanley Ford Eastland, our talented mechanics will also be able to check for any leaks in order to prolong the life of your transmission for as long as possible. If any other issues are found with your vehicle, you’ll swiftly be notified so that you can stay on top of your vehicle’s care. You may also want to consider having your other fluids replaced once you bring your vehicle in, as this will help you to keep track of what fluids you need to change and when. By keeping a schedule, your vehicle’s parts will have everything they need to run properly without any possible damage.
