Your vehicle’s transmission fluid plays a vital role in shifting gears smoothly, maintaining fuel efficiency, and protecting internal components from wear. At Advanced Auto Works in Livermore, CA, we provide expert transmission fluid inspections, flushes, and replacements for all vehicle types.
Whether you're commuting through Livermore, California, hauling in Pleasanton, California, or exploring roads near Dublin, California and Mountain House, California, keeping your transmission fluid clean and properly filled is essential for long-term vehicle health.
Transmission fluid acts as both a lubricant and a hydraulic fluid, reducing friction and transferring engine power to the transmission system. It also:
Cools internal components
Prevents gear slippage
Supports smooth gear shifting
Reduces wear on clutch packs and gears
Minimizes grinding and noise
Without proper fluid levels or quality, your transmission can quickly suffer expensive damage. That’s why we recommend regular inspections and service according to your manufacturer’s specifications.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all transmission fluid. The right choice depends on your vehicle’s make, model, and transmission type:
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF): Used in most cars with traditional automatic transmissions.
Manual Transmission Fluid: Thicker and designed for manual gearboxes and clutch systems.
Synthetic Transmission Fluid: Engineered for high performance and durability in extreme temperatures.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Fluid: Specialized fluid for CVT systems with pulleys and belts.
Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) Fluid: Designed for DCTs found in performance vehicles and some imports.
Check your owner’s manual for guidance, or let our Quality technicians at Advanced Auto Works identify the correct fluid for you.
Your transmission fluid needs regular attention, especially as your car passes 60,000–100,000 miles. Be on the lookout for these signs:
Dashboard warning lights related to transmission or powertrain
Difficulty shifting gears (delayed or rough engagement)
Leaking fluid beneath your car (reddish-brown spots)
Dark, burnt-smelling transmission fluid
Unusual noises such as whining or grinding
Transmission slipping while accelerating or decelerating
Poor performance or hesitation when changing gears
If you experience any of these symptoms, bring your vehicle to Advanced Auto Works immediately for a fluid inspection and service.
Our transmission fluid service process includes:
Checking fluid condition and level via the transmission dipstick
Flushing or draining old fluid (depending on your system)
Refilling with OEM-recommended fluid
Inspecting for leaks, wear, or unusual signs
Optional transmission filter replacement
This simple yet vital service can extend the life of your transmission and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
