How to Put Transmission Oil in a Car

What is Transmission Oil?

Transmission oil is a type of lubricant that is used to lubricate the gears and other moving parts in a car’s transmission. It helps to reduce friction and wear, and it also helps to keep the transmission cool. Transmission oil is typically red or amber in color, and it has a slightly oily smell.

When to Change Transmission Oil

The frequency with which you need to change your transmission oil will depend on the make and model of your car, as well as the type of driving you do. However, most experts recommend changing your transmission oil every 30,000 to 50,000 miles.

How to Change Transmission Oil

Changing transmission oil is a relatively simple process that can be done in about an hour. Here are the steps involved:

1. Gather your materials. You will need the following:
* New transmission oil
* A funnel
* A wrench
* A rag
2. Locate the transmission oil pan. The transmission oil pan is typically located on the bottom of the transmission. It is a metal pan that is held in place by bolts.
3. Remove the drain plug. The drain plug is located on the bottom of the transmission oil pan. It is a bolt that is typically made of metal or plastic.
4. Drain the old transmission oil. Allow the old transmission oil to drain into a pan.
5. Replace the drain plug. Once the old transmission oil has drained out, replace the drain plug.
6. Add new transmission oil. Use a funnel to add new transmission oil to the transmission. Add the amount of oil that is specified in your car’s owner’s manual.
7. Check the transmission oil level. Once you have added new transmission oil, check the oil level to make sure that it is correct. The oil level should be between the “full” and “add” marks on the dipstick.
8. Replace the transmission oil pan. Once you have checked the transmission oil level, replace the transmission oil pan. Tighten the bolts that hold the oil pan in place.

Tips for Changing Transmission Oil

* Use the correct type of transmission oil. The type of transmission oil that you need will depend on the make and model of your car. Consult your car’s owner’s manual for the correct type of oil to use.
* Do not overfill the transmission. Overfilling the transmission can cause the transmission to malfunction.
* Check the transmission oil level regularly. The transmission oil level should be checked every few months to make sure that it is correct.
