At Lou Fusz Subaru St. Peters, we understand that regular transmission fluid exchange is essential for maintaining your vehicle’s performance and longevity. The transmission fluid lubricates, cools, and cleans the transmission components, ensuring smooth and efficient gear shifting. Over time, the fluid can degrade and become contaminated, leading to reduced transmission performance and potential damage. That's why we offer specialized transmission fluid exchange services to keep your Subaru running smoothly and efficiently.
The most common transmission fluids are automatic and manual transmission. Automatic transmission fluid is made for vehicles with automatic transmissions and is sometimes even used for some more modern manual transmission vehicles. Automatic transmission fluid also helps with transmission cooling, brake band friction, clutch friction operation, valve body operation, torque converter operator and gear lubrication. Manual transmission fluid is commonly used for older vehicles with older manual transmissions. The heavier 75W to 140W fluid doesn’t get used for automatic transmission vehicles, and some manual transmissions won’t even use manual transmission fluid. Most later model vehicles that have manual transmissions will still use automatic transmission fluid instead.
Traditional transmission fluid uses crude oil, while synthetic transmission fluid is made through different chemical reactions. Synthetic oil is less likely to oxidize, break down or thin out in high temperatures. The best way to know which one your vehicle needs is to check the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
Our team of certified Subaru technicians is trained to perform thorough transmission fluid exchanges using high-quality, genuine Subaru fluids. During the service, we drain the old, contaminated fluid and replace it with fresh, Subaru-approved transmission fluid. This process helps remove harmful deposits, ensures optimal lubrication, and enhances the overall performance of your transmission.
Several signs indicate your Subaru might need a transmission fluid exchange. If you notice delayed or rough shifting, unusual noises from the transmission, or it’s been a while since your last fluid change, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Regular transmission fluid exchanges are crucial for preventing costly repairs and maintaining your vehicle’s reliability.
