Every transmission is different. Some Ford transmissions require a fluid change every 30K miles. Other makes can go 60-100K.



Transmission run very hot. That degrades the fluid and it loses its lubricating ability and wears out the additives. The result is more wear and damage to the rubber seals.



Check your owner's manual for service recommendations or call the dealer.

Your owner's manual typically says every 30000 miles. The problem is that by the time the normal bright pink fresh fluid changes to the dark brown color (bad), it's too late to save your transmission from a certain death. So that's why you change the fluid before it chemically breaks down, just like engine coolant needs to be the original bright color when you change it every two years.How often do i need to change my transmission fluid on my car?
