Volkswagen Transmission Fluid Exchange Service

Help the transmission in your Volkswagen car or SUV last as long as possible with routine transmission fluid exchange services performed by the experts at Bert Smith Volkswagen.

Transmission Fluid Exchange in St. Petersburg, FL

Just like any other moving part, your Volkswagen's transmission demands lubrication to work smoothly and reliably. But that's not all your transmission fluid does. Transmission fluid not only provides essential lubrication, but it also controls heat buildup and protects against corrosion while allowing the engine to shift gears. Over time, however, heat and friction can cause the transmission fluid to break down and lose its effectiveness. A transmission fluid exchange from Bert Smith Volkswagen of St. Petersburg, FL, will help keep your transmission in excellent shape for many miles to come.

How Does a Transmission Fluid Exchange Work?

A Volkswagen transmission fluid exchange involves removing the old, worn-out fluid from your transmission and replacing it with fresh transmission fluid. Our technicians only use OEM fluids, so you won't have to worry about your transmission fluid's quality affecting the way it shifts.

Reasons to Change Your Transmission Fluid

Transmission fluid contains various lubricants and detergents that help reduce part wear while promoting smooth, consistent operation. With enough time and exposure to heat and contaminants, the transmission fluid will degrade and break down. Old, contaminated fluid can cause various problems, including hesitation between gear changes, abnormal noises, and hard shifting. Keep in mind that a transmission is one of the most expensive components to repair or replace on your Volkswagen. So, think of a transmission fluid exchange as insurance against costly repairs and unwanted downtime for your vehicle.

How Often Should You Check and Change Transmission Fluid

Steady advances in technology mean you'll get more life out of your transmission fluid. With that said, the best way to know when it's time to check and change your transmission fluid is by consulting your VW owner's manual. Most manual transmissions need their fluid exchanged every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, while automatic transmissions require fluid exchanges every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. With a transmission inspection by our fully certified technicians, you'll know when the time is right for a Volkswagen transmission flush in Seminole.
