You should change your transmission fluid when you have performed 100,000 miles or around 150,000 miles total on the open road. Determining whether your car needs for services just like these can be determined at our service center here at Lithia Honda in Medford.
If you have been hauling, carrying heavy weights, or towing trailers, then you will need to know that this puts pressure on your transmission. When you are not driving under high stress conditions, then you will be able to check the condition of the fluid. There may be a burning smell if the fluid does need to be changed. If there is dirt or debris in the fluid then it should be replaced as well.
It is required to change the oil in your vehicle every 3,000 miles as well. You will want to inspect your brake fluid and make sure that it is still at a healthy level. Brake fluids may need to be replenished every couple of years. There is also steering fluid that should be paid attention to in your car.
