Your transmission depends on clean fluid to shift properly, stay cool, and avoid internal damage. Over time, that fluid breaks down or becomes contaminated, putting stress on the system. At Milwaukee Transmissions, we offer professional transmission fluid changes and flushes to help protect your vehicle from costly repairs.

This basic maintenance task can make a big difference in the way your vehicle performs.

Why Fluid Changes Matter

Transmission fluid keeps gears lubricated and prevents overheating. When it gets dirty, thick, or low, it can’t do its job—and that can lead to grinding, slipping, and even transmission failure.

Regular fluid service:

  • Helps the transmission shift more smoothly
  • Extends the life of internal parts
  • Reduces wear and overheating
  • Improves overall driving performance

Whether your car has an automatic, manual, or CVT transmission, fluid service is essential.

How Often Should You Change Transmission Fluid?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but many manufacturers recommend a change every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Heavy use—like towing, city driving, or long commutes—can make more frequent changes a smart idea.

Not sure when your last service was? We’ll inspect the condition of your fluid and give you honest advice about what to do next.

Fluid Change vs. Transmission Flush

There’s a difference between a fluid change and a full flush:

  • A fluid change replaces some of the old fluid by draining it and refilling with new fluid
  • A flush uses specialized equipment to remove nearly all of the old fluid and replace it completely

Both have their place, and we’ll help you choose the right option based on your transmission’s age, condition, and driving habits.
