- How often should I get my transmission fluid changed?
More accurate data is present in your Owners Manual but as a rule of thumb, most manufacturers
recommend to change your transmission fluid every 3 years / 36,000 miles. If your vehicle is older, the parts may be worn so we recommend a shorter period to change the transmission fluid for older
vehicles. If you are not sure what to do, please bring your vehicle to Bayside Transmission and we can perform a visual and road test to determine if your transmission fluid have to be changed.
