ATF: More Than Just a Lubricant
You know that you need to change your motor oil regularly to keep your engine well-lubricated and running smoothly. Your transmission doesn't need attention quite as often, but it contains its own fluid that does need occasional maintenance. Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) does more than just provide lubrication between internal transmission parts, however.
This vital fluid serves numerous roles in your transmission, and it can become dirty or contaminated over time.
