SEAT Transmission Oil Change in Espoo
The automatic transmission is one of the most important and complex components in a Seat vehicle. Its condition affects driving comfort, safety, and the lifespan of the transmission. To ensure the automatic transmission works flawlessly, it's important to maintain it regularly, including changing the transmission fluid. Over time, wear products accumulate in the fluid - metal dust, impurities, and friction residues. If their concentration exceeds the permissible limit, the transmission begins to work under overload, which can lead to premature wear and expensive repairs.

When to Change Transmission Fluid?
Fluid change intervals can vary depending on the SEAT model and operating conditions. On average, replacement is required every 60,000 - 90,000 km, but if the vehicle is operated in challenging conditions, the interval should be shortened:
Frequent city driving with traffic jams and stop lights
Using a trailer or heavy loads
Sharp accelerations and braking
Operation in cold or hot weather
Fluid has become dark, cloudy, or has a burnt smell, jerking when shifting gears
