How can I tell if my transmission needs servicing?
Keep Your Mitsubishi Running Smoothly with Regular Maintenance
At Wayside Garage, we recently had a Mitsubishi come in with a couple of issues that needed attention. The first was a faulty fan that wasn’t working properly. After performing some tests, we discovered that the blower motor was defective. Our ASE-certified technicians installed a new blower motor, and now the fan is running perfectly!
But that wasn’t all. During our comprehensive digital inspection, we noticed that the transmission fluid was due for a service. Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in keeping your vehicle running smoothly by lubricating, cleaning, and cooling the internal components of the transmission. Over time, it can break down, leading to potential wear and tear.
Why Regular Transmission Fluid Service is Essential
We recommend doing a transmission fluid exchange every three years or 30,000 miles to ensure the longevity of your vehicle. This service involves replacing the old fluid with new, high-quality fluid and installing a new filter. By doing this, you prevent potential issues down the road, such as transmission overheating, slipping, or even failure.
If you’re unsure whether your Mitsubishi—or any vehicle—is due for a transmission service, we can help. Our team can test for metal content in the fluid and evaluate the age and mileage of your vehicle to determine if it’s time for a service.
