fluid being poured from a container

In life, you learn that more expensive doesn’t always mean better. When it comes to transmission fluid, does it matter? Are name brand fluids better than the cheapest option? D & E Service Center in Andover, NJ has the answers.

If you’ve ever shopped for transmission fluid, you’ve likely noticed there can be a huge difference in price between brand names. Obviously, the type of transmission fluid you put into your car, truck, or SUV matters; you should always use whatever the manufacturer states. But are all fluids created equal?

The truth is, this can be a bit hard to determine - it depends heavily on what type of car you drive and how you use it, and there are certainly bargain brands that get the job done as well as other brands that are a bit overpriced. Overall, however, it’s a good idea to skip the cheap stuff on the bottom shelf at the gas station. Do your research and find out what results people have had that drive the same car as you.

The quality of fluid does make a difference; name brand fluids tend to have much better quality control, testing and development equipment, and knowledge and utilize fluids which last longer and lubricate better. Your transmission is an expensive and intricate piece of equipment - don’t skimp on fluid quality just to save yourself a few dollars in the short term.

If your vehicle needs fluid added, flushed, or changed, rest easy knowing our professionals have you covered.
