Q: Are there common causes of automatic transmission fluid contamination?
A: Yes, contaminants most often come from metal filings or ‘burnt' byproducts from extreme usage or fluid degradation over time.

Q: Are there preventative steps I can take to minimize contamination?
A: Yes, inspect the fluid using the dip stick at every oil change to determine if degradation or contamination is occurring.

Q: Can I identify which automatic transmission fluid(s) are applicable/appropriate for my vehicle?
A: Yes, refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the specific fluid for your vehicle.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting

Causes of transmission fluid degradation include overall thermal stress, mechanical shearing, and contamination.
Mechanical shearing affects the fluid's viscosity modifiers, causing the fluid to thin.
Common sources of contamination include metals and other engine fluids.
Coolant contamination is particularly harmful and usually requires a complete overhaul or even replacement of the transmission.
Signs that transmission fluid should be replaced include: transmission grinding or making strange noises, problems shifting gears, gears slipping, vehicle ‘surging' (lurching forward or falling back), delays in vehicle movement, and/or miles driven since last fluid change exceed recommended limit.

Good Maintenance Practices

When the fluid becomes contaminated, drain the fluid, flush the system with DEXRON-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid, and refill with new fluid.
Make sure to flush the transmission with DEXRON-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid, not a solvent.
Do not add any aftermarket additives to the fluid - they are not necessary and should not be used.
Transmission fluid should be replaced when it becomes contaminated.
Anything but transmission fluid in the transmission is considered a contaminant.
Always use the recommended type of transmission fluid in your vehicle, as referred to in your owner's manual.
Typical fluid change intervals for automatic transmissions range from 40,000 to 60,000 miles depending on the severity of the usage. See your owner's manual.
In addition to fluid replacement, it is important to regularly check your transmission fluid level.
A low transmission fluid level can cause the vehicle to shift improperly or not at all.
Stay vigilant - warning signs of low transmission fluid may not appear until serious damage has already occurred.
