MAHLE emphasises importance of transmission oil flushing

MAHLE Aftermarket has released a technical bulletin emphasising the importance of transmission oil flushing for automatic and direct-shift transmissions.

The company highlights that regular oil changes alone are insufficient, as up to 50% of old oil and contaminants can remain in the transmission. Flushing removes these particles, improving shifting performance and extending transmission life.

Alan Povey, Quality, Warranty, and Technical Manager at MAHLE Aftermarket, commented: “Transmission oil flushing is a vital process that removes contamination and abrasion particles from within the transmission.

MAHLE offers the FluidPRO® ATX series of flushing devices, which use fresh oil to clean the transmission without harmful chemicals. The devices are user-friendly and can be operated remotely via a smartphone app.

“This not only improves shifting behaviour but also reduces wear and prolongs the transmission’s service life. In cases where the transmission oil is contaminated, such as through coolant leakage, flushing becomes essential to prevent further damage.” adds Povey.

MAHLE recommends regular transmission oil changes and flushing for optimal performance, especially in cases of oil contamination.
