(1) We are consultants, and car safety management/maintenance engineers.

Have you wondered why a car is driven for 10 to 20yrs in
Europe and its brought down here in Nigeria and it is still very sound like a new car? A look at the gear box and the sound of the engine makes you wonder if the car was driven at all. Bring d same car and allow it just for 2 to 5yrs drive by an average Nigerian, you will see depreciations and worm out. We lack quality maintenance culture. Over there, maintenance is done through car manual and specifications and not through trial and error like the one we do here, or even some untrained mechanics will go as far as telling you the one to use. To them, they used it for so so person, therefore, .... this one, that one can do it, may be in a bid to cut cost, you follow their advise. Its a matter of time, the effect of not using the right oil will show. For the more sensitive cars, the effect is seen immediately.

How to maintain you transmission




An automatic transmission is the most complex and one of the most expensive to repair components of your vehicle. It has to do a lot of work and it doesn't require as many regular services as your engine. This is probably one of the reasons the transmission often gets neglected. Everybody knows that engine oil must be changed regularly for the engine to last, but what about the transmission? An automatic transmission depends on the transmission fluid to do all the work: the transmission fluid transfers the hydraulic pressure to shift the gears, it lubricates all the moving parts and cools down the transmission. The transmission fluid lasts longer than engine oil, but it still deteriorates over time and under load and high temperature. For this reason, keeping your transmission fluid clean and at the proper level is vital. It's also important to use only the proper type of the transmission fluid.

Where is the automatic transmission dipstick located
Check the owner's manual to see where the transmission fluid dipstick is located in your car. You can quickly find in the book's maintenance section:
Maintenance » Do-It-Yourself Maintenance » Engine Compartment.
Yo will see the engine compartment map with the descriptions.


Checking automatic transmission fluid
On most cars and trucks, you still can check the transmission fluid level and condition with a dipstick, similarly to an engine oil. Check your owner's manual for the correct procedure, as it may be a bit different for different cars; for example, in many Honda vehicles the transmission level is checked with the engine off, while it most other cars, the transmission fluid level is checked with the engine running and the transmission in Park. Some newer cars and trucks actually don't even have a transmission fluid dipstick and the level can only be checked at the dealer or a repair shop.


In Mazda 6, for example, according to the owner's manual, the steps are as follows:
1. Park on a level surface and set the parking brake firmly.
2. Idle the engine about two minutes. Push down on the brake pedal.
3. Move the shift lever through all ranges and set it at P.

4. With the engine still idling, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and put it back.

5. Pull it out again and check the fluid level.
The proper fluid level is marked on the dipstick.

the level is OK and transmission fluid still looks not too bad, but it won't be a bad idea to change it in the near future.

To see the condition of the fluid better, drip it on a white paper towel. The new automatic transmission fluid usually comes red. Over time, it deteriorates and becomes more brownish. It's good idea to change it before it becomes too dark. See the chart.

The transmission fluid change intervals vary from 25,000-30,000 miles to 60,000 miles. You can find the exact interval in the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual.

The next question is
What can damage your automatic transmission?
