Your Kia car’s transmission consists of a whole range of parts that move the power from the engine to the wheels. To improve your car’s gas mileage and to save money on costly repairs down the road, ask your technician at your Kia dealer to perform a transmission service and reap the benefit of optimal vehicle performance.
1. Increases Fuel Economy
When your car’s transmission is in good working order, you will save money at the gas pump. Follow your car’s service schedule and factory-recommended maintenance intervals and ask your Kia technician to perform regular transmission inspections and transmission fluid replacements.
A well-maintained transmission will reduce the strain on components and ensure that your engine runs optimally. An engine that runs smoothly will use less oil, and you will save money on gas.
2. Minimizes Friction, Heat, and Wear
The transmission fluid ensures that the moving components are well lubricated to minimize friction that causes heat and ultimately wears down the parts. Over time transmission fluid becomes contaminated. The fluid loses its protective qualities and doesn’t effectively cool and lubricate the parts, affecting vehicle performance.
Replacing the transmission fluid at the recommended maintenance intervals will reduce friction, ensuring that all the components run smoothly and minimize wear.
3. Improves Gear Function
Old and contaminated transmission fluid that overheats will eventually become thick and sludgy. The sludgy transmission fluid will clog the gears and prevent the components from moving smoothly. It will become hard to shift gears, and you might even hear horrible noises from the damage being caused.
That is why regular transmission inspections and transmission fluid replacements are so important. Replacing the transmission fluid will ensure that the parts are well lubricated to reduce friction and wear.
4. Optimizes Vehicle Performance
When you take your Kia for an oil change every 7,500 miles or six months, the Kia technician will inspect every transmission component, check the transmission fluid, and top it off if necessary. The technician will check the mountings and the seals’ conditions and look for leaks. The transmission inspections and transmission fluid replacement intervals are in your owner’s manual, or you can speak to your Kia technician for assistance.
You will be surprised what a thorough maintenance service and transmission inspection does for your Kia. Your car will perform optimally, the engine will run smoothly, and you will enjoy every minute behind the wheel.
5. Saves You Money on Repair Costs
A transmission consists of a range of moving components, and when a part malfunctions or fails, it could cost you a bundle to repair or even replace. With regular transmission inspections, minor problems will be detected early on and repaired before more damage occurs, leading to expensive repairs.
When your Kia technician services your transmission regularly at the recommended intervals, it will prevent unexpected repairs in the future, saving you lots of cash in the long run.
