Transmission Flush Service

You know what really grinds our gears? Bad transmission fluid. Over time, fluid breaks down, collects debris, and loses the ability to protect your transmission. That’s when you need a transmission flush - a service designed to keep your gears shifting smoothly and your vehicle running longer.

Are transmission fluid change and transmission flush the same thing?

Signs you need a transmission flush

Why is a transmission flush important?

How frequently should I get a transmission flush service?

  • Transmission fluid change: A quicker 20-30 minute service. We remove the transmission pan, drain a portion of the old fluid, replace the filter and gasket, and refill with fresh fluid.

  • Transmission flush: A more thorough service. Using custom-blended cleaning agents, we power-flush old fluid and contaminants from the entire system and replace it with new fluid. This service typically takes 30-40 minutes. For maximum protection, we also offer a 75-minute service that includes a full flush plus filter and gasket replacement.

Taking care of your transmission is essential maintenance - and it protects your investment in your vehicle. Make an appointment at your nearest Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers to keep your car running smoothly.

  • Difficulty shifting gears

  • Roaring or grinding noises, especially on turns

  • Slipping gears

  • Vehicle lunging or surging unexpectedly

  • Check engine or transmission warning lights

Note: Some of these symptoms may be caused by other systems (engine or fuel system). Our trained technicians will diagnose the problem before recommending service.

A full flush clears out debris, varnish, and sludge that wear down internal components. Benefits include:

  • Improved overall performance and smoother driving

  • Longer transmission lifespan

  • Cleaner, quicker shifting

  • Reduced heat buildup inside the transmission

  • Alignment with your vehicle’s recommended maintenance schedule

We recommend every 30,000 miles or about every 2 years, though your owner’s manual provides the most accurate interval. If you notice shifting issues, noises, or slipping, it’s best to have your transmission checked sooner.

Transmission Maintenance 101

Your transmission is one of the most complex and expensive systems in your vehicle. It transfers engine power to the wheels, allowing for smooth gear changes and controlled driving. Over time, heat, friction, and contaminants degrade transmission fluid. If that fluid isn’t replaced, the result can be sluggish shifting, gear slippage, overheating, and eventually major repair bills.

Transmission Flush vs. Fluid Change

  • A fluid change is a lighter service that replaces part of the old fluid and the filter. It’s good preventive maintenance.

  • A flush completely removes the old fluid and contaminants from the entire system before refilling. It’s the best choice when fluid is badly degraded or you’re experiencing performance issues.

Benefits of Staying on Schedule

  • Protects your transmission - fresh fluid cushions gears and moving parts.

  • Saves money - prevents costly transmission rebuilds or replacements.

  • Improves drivability - smoother acceleration, less hesitation.

  • Extends vehicle life - reducing strain on the transmission extends the car’s usable lifespan.
