Automatic transmissions are now a feature of more and more cars on the road, yet many independent garages continue to miss out on the huge potential offered by automatic transmission servicing work. 

Unlocking this potential can be straight forward according to Mannol and its sister parts operation SCT who together offer a comprehensive range of transmission fluids and transmission fluid filters. These products offer performance in line with the original specification, but are also very well priced to allow for healthy margin work that will still be far more economical for the driver than visiting a dealer. 

In general automatic transmission fluid should be change every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometres, however, vehicles that experience more heavy duty use, such as towing, frequent hill climbing, or taxi work, may find the fluid deteriorates faster due to greater temperatures. In this instance the fluid needs a more frequent change. From the customer perspective, changing the fluid will often transform the feel of the automatic transmission, especially on Constant Variable Transmissions, while it will also have a positive impact on fuel consumption and emissions.

Transmission fluid has become much more vehicle specific in recent years and Mannol offers a full range of transmission fluids, with everything from fluid for a Prius CVT to the latest Mercedes 9 speed. Through SCT a comprehensive range of transmission fluid filter kits are also available. These filters should be changed with the fluid and the kits contain all the required components to complete a quality transmission fluid and filter replacement quickly and easily.

Mannol transmission fluids and SCT transmission filter kits are available from trusted local parts suppliers throughout Ireland. These Mannol stockists also have a supply of Mannol wall planners, work planners and calendars available for Mannol customers.
