Transmission Fluid: Your Truck's Best Friend or Worst Enemy?
Transmission fluid is essential for the smooth operation of your truck's gearbox, with crucial roles such as lubricating moving parts, dissipating heat, protecting against rust, conditioning seals, and transferring hydraulic power in automatic transmissions. Adhering to the manufacturer's recommended fluid type and service intervals is key to avoiding costly repairs. While transmission additives can offer benefits like improved shifting and reduced wear, they may also pose risks like compatibility issues and masking underlying problems.
