The manufacturer of the new Teana recommends replacing the transmission oil after driving 32,500 kilometers or 39 months. When replacing, it is essential to use the same type of transmission oil as the original vehicle.
Transmission oil plays a crucial role in keeping the gear system clean, ensuring the normal operation of the transmission, and extending the lifespan of the drivetrain.
Generally, there are two methods for changing transmission oil: one is a simple draining method, which is easy to operate and takes less time, but the oil change is not thorough; the other is a dynamic replacement using a pressurizing device, which can remove over 85% of the old oil but takes about one hour.
When replacing transmission oil, the following points should be noted:
Transmission oil can deteriorate and evaporate after long periods of high speed and high temperature, potentially increasing wear on mechanical components and even damaging internal parts of the transmission;
If the transmission oil is not changed for a long time, the vehicle may fail to start in cold weather;
Delaying the replacement of transmission oil can cause the oil to thicken, which may block the transmission cooler, resulting in excessively high transmission oil temperatures and increased wear.
