Luke from Truck Transmission Specialists emphasizes the crucial role of transmission fluid in maintaining truck transmissions, likening it to the lifeblood of the system. This fluid not only lubricates but also reduces friction, cools, cleans, conditions seals, and transmits hydraulic power. Warning signs that your transmission fluid needs attention include rough shifting, strange noises, a burning smell, and a change in fluid appearance. Using the correct type of fluid is vital, and you should consult your owner's manual or a mechanic for guidance. Generally, transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, or more often in extreme conditions. Preventative maintenance is key to keeping your truck running smoothly.
