How Often Should You Service Your Transmission?
For most vehicles, transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but check your owner’s manual for exact intervals. If you drive in stop-and-go traffic, tow regularly, or live in a hot climate like Florida, more frequent service may be necessary.
