They told you your automatic gearbox is 'for life' and doesn't need maintenance. That's the myth that has destroyed the most gearboxes. We'll explain the truth.
"Sealed for life" = for the life of the warranty
ATF oil degrades with heat and use. Beyond a certain mileage, it lubricates less effectively, clutches can slip, and the gearbox may jerk or clunk when shifting.
You'll notice that your gearbox wants oil.
Jerking, hesitation when engaging D or R, harsh gear changes, or slipping when accelerating. If you wait, repairing a gearbox costs a fortune.
How we do it right
Specific ATF oil change + filter/sump gasket, with the correct quantity and temperature. In many models, done by circuit to renew almost all the oil.
