There are many things you can do as a vehicle owner to keep your car in good shape. One of these things is taking care of your transmission. 

The transmission has gears that transfer power from the engine to the wheels, allowing your vehicle to accelerate to different speeds. Transmission fluid keeps your gears running smoothly.

The fluid in your transmission needs to be changed regularly because it becomes dirty and less effective. Your owner's manual will offer guidelines as to how often your vehicle's manufacturer recommends for your transmission to get flushed and the fluid changed. These recommendations will help you extend the life of your transmission and improve the performance of your vehicle.
