Maintain Your Toyota with Expert Transmission Fluid Service at Capitol Toyota in Salem, OR

March 15th, 2024

While it is certain that Toyota engines are among the highest quality vehicle engines on the road, it is important to regularly service them to extend their lifetime and improve their performance. One important part of routine engine maintenance is servicing the transmission fluid. The transmission is a very important part of your Toyota: it transfers the power from the vehicle's engine and transfers it to the wheels, making them spin. Transmissions have a set of gears, and the job of transmission fluid is to make those gears shift smoothly.

If your transmission fluid has broken down or collected contaminates from regular wear and tear, it can cause the gears of your Toyota's transmission to grind and not shift smoothly. If this is not caught early, you could need a new transmission, which is a very expensive process. Instead, bring your Toyota into Capitol Toyota for a routine service appointment, where our knowledgeable, factory-trained technicians will inspect your transmission fluid and catch any potential problems before they turn into a headache for you and your wallet.

When and How Do You Get Your Transmission Fluid Serviced?

Because different Toyota models have different transmissions, the recommended number of miles between transmission fluid services differs. You can find Toyota's recommendation for your specific model in your owner's manual. You can also call a member of our knowledgeable service team, who can tell you specifically when it's time for a service appointment for your Toyota model, through the phone number listed on this page.
