A transmission service at Valvoline typically involves replacing the existing transmission fluid with new fluid, often accompanied by a cleaning agent to remove debris and contaminants. This process can vary in complexity and cost depending on the vehicle’s make and model, and whether a complete fluid exchange or a simpler drain and refill is performed. It is recommended to consult a Valvoline service center directly for an accurate price quote specific to the vehicle.
Maintaining clean, high-quality transmission fluid is vital for the longevity and smooth operation of a vehicles transmission. Old or contaminated fluid can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, shifting problems, overheating, and ultimately, costly transmission failure. Regular service, as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, can prevent these issues and extend the lifespan of the transmission, a significant investment in any vehicle. Historically, transmission fluid changes were often overlooked, but as vehicles have become more complex, their importance has become increasingly recognized.
