Welcome to Transmission Fluid, your one-stop resource for everything related to transmission fluid.
We started this site because we got tired of the same problem every car owner faces: trying to figure out the right fluid type, capacity, color, or compatibility, and ending up on scattered forums, outdated PDFs, or dealer pages that just want to sell you an expensive flush.
Here, you get clear, accurate, up-to-date information in plain English (with charts you can actually read on your phone while you’re under the hood).
What we do:
- Detailed compatibility & capacity charts (no more guessing if MaxLife is safe for your Toyota/Benz)
- Capacity charts – exact fill amounts for thousands of vehicles (drain-and-fill vs full flush, pan drop vs total system)
- Color guides that show exactly what healthy vs. burnt fluid looks like
- Straightforward “best fluid” roundups for (high-mileage, CVT, DCT, manual, we cover it all)
- Cross-reference charts – instantly see which aftermarket fluids (Valvoline, Amsoil, Red Line, Mobil 1, etc.) are safe substitutes for OEM specs
- By-make & model guides – dedicated sections for Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, Chrysler, BMW, Mercedes, Jeep, Ram, and more
- Fluid types breakdown – ATF, CVT, DCT, manual, low-viscosity ULV, Toyota WS, Honda DW-1… we explain every type and when to use it
- Step-by-step how-to guides and symptom troubleshooters
- Honest product reviews and brand comparisons
We’re car enthusiasts and experienced mechanics who have changed more transmission fluid than we’d like to admit. Everything on this site is researched, fact-checked, and regularly updated (especially when manufacturers quietly change specs).
No fluff. No upselling you a $300 flush when a simple drain-and-fill will do. Just the information you need to keep your transmission happy and your wallet intact.
