“A stitch in time saves nine,” a timeless adage that rings especially true for valuable trucks, our constant companions on the road. Beyond routine maintenance, a transmission oil change is crucial for your truck’s well-being. When should you change your transmission oil? Where can you find reliable, high-quality service? Let Hanoi Truck guide you with the details below.

Transmission Oil Change: Its Critical Importance

The transmission is a vital component, responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels. Transmission oil lubricates, cools, and protects the internal parts from friction and wear.

Without regular oil changes, transmission oil becomes contaminated and loses its lubricating properties, leading to:

Reduced transmission performance: Sluggish acceleration, difficulty shifting gears, especially when hauling heavy loads or climbing steep inclines.
Damage to internal transmission components: Increased repair and replacement costs.
Increased fuel consumption: Reduced engine lifespan.

When to Change Your Transmission Oil

Experts recommend changing your transmission oil every 40,000 – 60,000 km or every 2 – 3 years. However, depending on driving conditions and the type of transmission oil used, you may need to change it sooner.

For example, Tuan, a Hino truck owner who transports construction materials on Hoang Quoc Viet Street, often faces dusty roads, traffic congestion, and heavy loads. He shares, “I change my transmission oil more frequently than the manufacturer recommends to ensure the health of my truck.”
