Your vehicle’s transmission is one of the most important systems under the hood—and keeping it running smoothly starts with a regular transmission fluid exchange. At Oilex Grease Monkey®, our expert technicians perform fast, professional transmission services that help extend the life of your transmission while preventing costly repairs down the road.
Whether you drive a vehicle with an automatic transmission, manual transmission, or transaxle, we’re here to help with manufacturer-recommended transmission maintenance services.
Transmission fluid keeps your transmission components cool, clean, and lubricated. Over time, this fluid breaks down and collects dirt and debris, reducing its effectiveness. A transmission fluid exchange removes old, degraded fluid and replaces it with fresh fluid, restoring optimal performance and protecting your transmission from wear and overheating.
Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for recommended transmission service intervals—typically between 30,000 and 150,000 miles, depending on your vehicle make and model.
You may need a transmission fluid exchange sooner if you:
While transmission fluid supports gear shifts and system cooling, differential fluid lubricates the gears that transmit power from your engine to the wheels. Both are critical and often serviced together—especially in vehicles with a transaxle system.

Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for its recommended transmission service interval. Depending on the make and model, transmission fluid may need to be changed between 30,000 and 150,000 miles. More frequent service may be needed if you regularly tow heavy loads, drive in extreme temperatures, travel over rough terrain, or spend significant time in stop-and-go traffic.
Signs that your vehicle may need transmission service include a burning smell, overheating, delayed gear shifts, transmission slipping, rough or jerky gear changes, poor acceleration, hesitation, red fluid underneath the vehicle, or an illuminated Check Engine or Transmission warning light.
During transmission fluid service, the technicians at Oilex Grease Monkey® inspect the transmission system, drain or flush the old fluid, and refill the system with fluid that meets the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. They may also replace the transmission filter when applicable and perform a post-service check.
