Frequently Asked Questions

1. How often should I have my transmission fluid changed?
Once Every year or every 20,000 miles, which ever occurs first.

2. Who needs a transmission cooler?
Any vehicle will benefit from the addition of a transmission cooler, However any vehicle used to tow, a delivery or service vehicle, to go up and down the canyons, snow plow or other heavy duty or severe conditions can have the life of the transmission greatly extended by installing an additional cooler.

3. Will overfilling my transmission cause it to blow the seals?
No, overfilling the transmission can cause the fluid to be expelled from the vent usually after the fluid is hot. This gives the appearance that a seal has failed. If the fluid level is corrected the leak should stop.

4. If I haven't had my transmission serviced for 50,000 or more miles should I not have it done? Some one told me it could make my transmission go bad.
By all means service the transmission as soon as possible. Fresh Fluid with new additives and a clean filter is the best thing you can do for the life of your transmission.

5. What about my manual transmission, my transfer case and my differentials?
They too need regular service. We recommend you service your differentials, transfer case and manual transmission every other year.
