Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchange
Fresh and robust ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) is critical to the long life and proper operation of your automatic transmission. Your vehicle manufacturer specifies time and mileage intervals for the ATF exchange service that will ensure the long-term dependability of your transmission.
Excessive heat is the #1 killer of ATF, and consequently automatic transmissions. ATF that has been overheated only a single time, or has been exposed to repeated, long-term intervals of high temperatures cannot protect your transmission as it was designed to, and should be changed.
Solar Lube technicians can perform the ATF fluid exchange on your vehicle in about 15 minutes on most vehicles, using the correct specified fluids and additives required by your manufacturer. This gives you and your automatic transmission the best chance possible to “beat the heat”.
