This equipment facilitates the complete replacement of used automatic transmission fluid (ATF) with fresh fluid. Unlike traditional drain-and-fill methods, which often leave a significant amount of old fluid in the torque converter and other components, this automated process connects to the transmission lines, pushing out the old fluid while simultaneously replacing it with new ATF, ensuring a thorough exchange. This results in a more complete fluid change and helps maintain optimal transmission performance.
Maintaining clean, high-quality ATF is crucial for the health and longevity of an automatic transmission. Old, degraded fluid can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, sluggish shifting, overheating, and ultimately, transmission failure. A comprehensive fluid change helps remove harmful contaminants and deposits, promoting smoother operation, improved fuel economy, and extended transmission life. Historically, fluid changes were less efficient, but advancements in technology have led to more effective equipment that maximizes the benefits of fresh ATF.
