1. Bring the transmission up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on). 2. Park the vehicle on level ground, and turn the engine off. 3. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF). Then reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B).Acura recommends changing transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles for manual transmissions, and 60,000 to 100,000 miles for automatic transmissions. The cost of transmission fluid change ranges from $100 to $250 at a dealership depending on the vehicle model and location. A fluid exchange is not going to cause any issues if they are just hooking up to the transmission lines. All it does is pump the old fluid out and new fluid in, it circulates just like it does when you drive. A Flush pushes fluid through the system which could cause potential problems. To me there is a big difference. Cruze transmission fluid & filter change. Recently, I took my 2011 Cruze LT to the dealership for a transmission fluid & filter change because it has over 30,000 miles and there is no dip stick to check the color and smell of the fluid. Since it is a new 6 speed automatic technology, it thought is was best to be on the safe side and change it.
The Average – While there are several variables that may impact this figure, most modern cars need a transmission fluid change every 50,000-100,000 miles. The Why – Failure to change your fluid in due time could result in leaks, overheating, and erratic shifting. Go By the Book!
