At Lou Fusz Subaru St. Louis, we understand that clean and effective transmission fluid is essential for your vehicle’s performance and longevity. Transmission fluid lubricates and cools the transmission components, ensuring smooth shifting and preventing overheating. Over time, this fluid can become contaminated or degrade, leading to reduced transmission efficiency and potential damage. That's why we offer specialized transmission fluid exchange services to keep your Subaru's transmission running smoothly and reliably.
The most common transmission fluids are automatic and manual transmission. Automatic transmission fluid is made for vehicles with automatic transmissions and is sometimes even used for some more modern manual transmission vehicles. Automatic transmission fluid also helps with transmission cooling, brake band friction, clutch friction operation, valve body operation, torque converter operator and gear lubrication. Manual transmission fluid is commonly used for older vehicles with older manual transmissions. The heavier 75W to 140W fluid doesn’t get used for automatic transmission vehicles, and some manual transmissions won’t even use manual transmission fluid. Most later model vehicles that have manual transmissions will still use automatic transmission fluid instead.
Traditional transmission fluid uses crude oil, while synthetic transmission fluid is made through different chemical reactions. Synthetic oil is less likely to oxidize, break down or thin out in high temperatures. The best way to know which one your vehicle needs is to check the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
Our team of certified Subaru technicians is trained to perform thorough transmission fluid exchanges using high-quality, Subaru-approved fluids. During the service, we also inspect the transmission system for any signs of wear or damage, ensuring your vehicle receives comprehensive care. Our meticulous approach helps maintain optimal transmission performance and extends the life of your transmission.
