What does transmission fluid do?
Your vehicle depends on a wide range of fluids to keep it running smoothly. One such fluid is responsible for keeping your automatic transmission components lubricated. Similar to how oil helps to keep your engine lubricated and cool, transmission fluid helps to keep your transmission in excellent shape so that it performs better, lasts longer, and staves off costly repairs.
While transmission fluid changes are not as common as oil changes on your car's list of regular service items, they're still important when it comes to maintaining your vehicle. Luckily, you don't have to tend to this service on your own. Our team of Mopar service experts is available to help.

When do I need to have my transmission fluid replaced?
Your owner's manual can give you specifics on when you should bring your vehicle in for a transmission fluid exchange. All cars are a bit different, and your driving habits can have an effect on how frequently you should change your transmission fluid. So, it's important to stay on top of regular checkups so that our team can help you tackle important maintenance items in a timely fashion.
How can I tell when my transmission fluid needs to be changed?
Treating your car to regular maintenance is the best way to catch potential problems and deal with them before they get worse. Still, there are a few common warning signs that you should be mindful of in case trouble crops up between service visits.
Signs that your transmission needs service include:
- Leaking fluid: If you notice that your car is leaking a reddish fluid, you should bring your car in for service so that our pro technicians can find and repair the leak.
- Rough idling: If you feel vibrations or notice your transmission grinding while you drive or idle, it's time for service.
- Strange transmission odor: A peculiar burning, sweet odor could be your transmission fluid. If you notice any unusual smells, please don't wait to give us a call.
- Slipping gears: If you find that your car slips in and out of gear while you drive, your car might be overdue for transmission service.
- Poor acceleration: Is your car's acceleration not what it used to be? Your transmission might be the culprit.
