Your vehicle's transmission system is critical to ensuring smooth gear shifting and overall performance. Regular transmission fluid changes are an essential part of car maintenance, helping to protect the internal components of the transmission and prevent costly repairs down the road.

At Mobil1 Lube Express, we offer professional transmission fluid change services in Burnaby. Whether you're driving an automatic or manual transmission vehicle, our certified technicians use top-quality fluids and the latest tools to ensure your transmission operates at its best.
 

Why Is Transmission Fluid Important?

Transmission fluid acts as a lubricant for the gears, valves, and other components inside the transmission. It also helps with cooling and cleaning, reducing wear and tear. Over time, the fluid can become contaminated or lose its effectiveness, leading to potential transmission problems.

Signs You May Need a Transmission Fluid Change:

• Slipping gears or rough shifting
• Unusual noises, such as whining or grinding
• Delayed or hard shifting between gears
• Overheating or burning smell
• Warning lights on the dashboard (e.g., Transmission Fluid or Check Engine light)

Our Transmission Fluid Change Process

At Mobil1 Lube Express, we follow a thorough and precise procedure to ensure your transmission fluid is changed efficiently:
