Picking the right transmission fluid is critical to ensure optimal performance and prevent expensive transmission damage

Not all transmission fluids are the same, and using the wrong one can lead to poor performance, overheating, or even transmission failure

The first step is to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual

Look for the precise fluid designation listed by the automaker—common examples include Dexron VI, Mercon V, ATF+4, or ZF Lifeguard fluid

Never assume that all automatic transmission fluids are interchangeable, even if they seem similar

You can also consult third-party databases such as AllData or Mitchell1 for accurate fluid specifications

Enter your make, model, and year to get accurate recommendations

Certain models demand full-synthetic fluids to handle high stress and extended drain intervals, whereas older models may specify conventional or blended options

Make sure the fluid matches your transmission type—automatic, manual, or CVT—since each operates under different pressure and friction demands

Viscosity grade and additive formulation directly impact lubrication quality and component protection

These affect how well the fluid lubricates, cools, and protects internal components under different driving conditions

Too thick or too thin a fluid can result in poor hydraulic response and premature wear

An incompatible fluid may cause the ECU to activate limp mode or display transmission fault codes

When in doubt, visit a certified mechanic or dealership

Many shops offer fluid analysis services to ensure compatibility and cleanliness

Steer clear of "universal" fluids unless they carry the exact OEM certification listed in your manual

Check the label for لوازم یدکی تیگو 7 پرو the official OEM specification marks like GM Dexron VI, Ford Mercon ULV, or Toyota WS

Set reminders to ensure you don’t miss critical fluid replacement milestones

Heat, friction, and contaminants gradually compromise fluid integrity, reducing its protective capabilities

By choosing the correct transmission fluid and maintaining it properly, you extend the life of your transmission and ensure reliable performance for years to come
