:: Maintenance  ::

  When checking automatic transmissions…
    Make sure the engine is running, the car is fully warmed up, and on a level surface.

  Be aware of the color

 

   If the automatic transmission fluid is brown or has a burnt odor, make sure to change it. If the fluid is red it should be fine for usage.

  Don't overfill
    Too much fluid in your transmission will put extra heat and pressure.
    ::  To Prevent Damage ::

  Follow recommendations
    Drain and refill the transmission according to the manufacturer's handbook. As a general rule, 15,000 miles or 12 months is a good idea.

  Stop the car completely
  Never shift to the Reverse or Parking until the car comes to a complete stop.
